I'm a Grinch

I'm sick to the top
of my pointy green head.
Cease your rick-racket
Or end up quite dead.

But the Whos disregarded
The Grinch's fist-shaking
They were too busy singing
And gingerbread making

What's this? said the Grinch.
They pay no attention!
'Tis time to wield weapons
Too fearsome to mention.

So the Grinch honed his axe
To a hair-splitting edge,
Then loaded his guns
As he stood on the ledge.

Like a furry Charles Starkweather
He surveyed the scene
Of a Whoville alive
And peaceful. Serene!


Not for long, said the Grinch
As he grinned a black grin
.
These bullets pierce armor
And Whos are so thin.

I'll make those Whos drown
In the blood of their neighbors!
And so the Grinch set
To his terrible labors.

Your wee boy is tiny
So why are you whiny?
With presents and stuff
You should be quite chuffed
But what do I know?
It's all meaningless show
Unless you're just small
Then you'll have a ball!

Father Christmas was dining
and heard not the whining
of all the little wounded Whos
who died wearing silly shoes
 
 
Eloi Tsabaoth

But the whos were not wounded,
It was naught but a ruse,
For they'd seen the grinch planning
While cooking his goose
They'd pooled all their money
And spent many quids
On some bullet-proof vests
And a number of squibs
And when the grinch turned
From the carnage they'd faked
They dug out a nuke
They'd concealed in a cake...

Eh? said the Grinch
What in heck is that whistle?
It stings in my ears
Like a q-tip of thisle!

And he looked up above him
At the bomb, painted blue,
And inscribed with a message
From those sneaky-sneak Whos.


"Don't open til Xmas,"
Read the Grinch just before
The first wave of the blast
Melted his shoes to the floor.

It was over like that!
And with the bomb blast still ringing
All the Whos down in Whoville
Started... well... singing.

Their voices rose up
O'er mountain and valley
And echoed through canyons
Formerly known as Grinch Alley.

But what of the home
Of the now-vaporized Grinch?
Well, the Whos tore it down.
I think there's a Starbucks there now.

Fear not for the cheer
Of our topic starter.
He's wined and he's dined
And feels a bit smarter.

But during the day
There was plenty to irk.
A typical Friday
At the place where he works.

I just have to step in here and congradulate Monk on terrific rhyming skills. Well done. Merry Xmas.

Father Christmas
Has got a fat arse
Whereas the Grinch
Can't pinch an inch

Your beard of bloodred spittle,
Your fur is stiff & brittle,
Mister Gri-i-inch,
Go away.
