How the Grinches Stole Christmas by Mark Nease
Every Who down on Main Street

Liked Christmas a lot...

But the Grinches on Wall Street,

Manhattan did NOT!

They had no compunction for any old Who.

To them, it was always the season to screw

The immigrant Whatses and lower IQ.

They'd take all their presents, then take the house, too!



Now, please, don't ask why. No one admits the reason

That a bunch of sly frat boys resorted to treason.

For celestial returns running to the gazillions,

They put Cindy-Lous on the street by the millions.



It wasn't so much the fit of their shoes,

But their price, that made them bamboozle the Whos.

And their hearts, on the contrary, instead of too small,

Were three sizes too large, considering all

The booze and the stress and the thirty-dollar steaks

And the sickness inside that avarice makes.



So it wasn't the size of their hearts or their shoes

That drove them to heartlessly bamboozle Whos.

If we're to believe what we read in the news,

They created a bomb with too short of a fuse!



We may never know what extent they conspired

To suck us all dry before they retired

And a new politician had time to be hired,

Thus taking the fall for the way we are mired.



They knew there was always another buffoon,

But the scheme came unravelled a little too soon

For the retailers to reap one last mighty boon

And the Executive Grinches to shoot for the moon.



They appointed a Grinch who decided to truck it

To the top of the heap, up the side of Mt. Fuckit,

(Which is also referred to as Capitol Hill),

Where they promptly stuck Whoville with most of the bill.



Then the Grinches got an idea!

A WONDERFUL, AWFUL IDEA!

1. Love it!
Why is it that Christmas poetry is most conducive to political parody?

2. "To Read More". HELL yeah.
Hysterical! And oh, so timely. Really puts it in perspective for "people of a certain age."
