How the Grinches Stole the United States

Tune: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35WgpMq6e3o

After John Puffy Cheeks Grinch failed to steal Christmas,

the Whovilians elected a new Mayor and kicked the Grinches out of town

The Grinches gathered at their Fake Chinese Diner

Not being able to stand the sound

Of happy whovilians feeling hope

They sat around the table saying "nope, nope nope."

They were feeling quite dejected.

Because the Whovilians had voted

And Out they'd been ejected!

So they moped and they groused.

And scratched at the occasional louse

And they smoked and they belched

And quite stunk up the House.

Til one of them looked around

and lit up the room with a smile

 

The GreenGrinch had a plan!

 

He had a plan!

And his smile it grew big

And it spread through the room.

As one by one all the grinches smiled

Until it filled up the room

With sharp catlike teeth.

 

They took heart from that smile

It was predatory and nasty

And they loved it for that!

That smile froze the room.

But it dispelled their gloom.

 

If you act like a Whovian, you'll stay a Whovian!

Then Eric the Signing Grinch,

And Ryan the Lyin Grinch,

Jeb the Chickengrinch and Pete the Hookergrinch

Dan the Lungirinch, and Jim DeMintgrinch,

Jon the Kylgrich and Tom the Burngrinch

And Finally John the Engrinch and Bob the Corkergrinch;

All of them smiled!

Then Dan the Lundgrinch said:

We've got to challenge them when they sing their songs.

We've got to fight them when they pray

We've got to gaslight them in the morning

And change what they say.

Then Newt the Greenrinch said to the crowd,

You will remember this day!

You will make all Grinches proud!

We won't give specifics

But we'll give them an alternative vision

We'll tell them it's better

and gaslight them to hell!

Then they spent the rest of the night

Plotting what to sell

 

Along Comes the Trump Grinch!

The King of Grinchdom was very upset with him,

He hadn’t stopped that infernal singing,

He hadn’t enslaved or dispossessed them,

Or put them to work in Grinchville factories

Or made them fight in Grinchine wars.

Instead he’d given them back all that well taken loot!

and acted very un Grinchlike, such an uppity snoot!

“We can’t have Grinches who act like Who’s

They might get liberal, they might laugh and smooze.

We can’t have who’s who don’t know their place,

To be poor and stupid and work for our race.”

 

So indeed drummed him out of their society.

And gathered in their retreats to figure out a strategy.

He was quite content because his heart had become so big

He quite preferred Whoville

But the King of the Grinches didn’t know what to do.

 

Their king asked his council; “What will we do?”

WE still despise Christmas,

And Hanukah, and Ramadan,

And Marzipan, fruitcake, milkshakes, eggnog and fun.

WE still despise people getting together,

and quite enjoying the nasty weather.

Unless they are rich like Duke GreenGrinch.

And Duke GreenGrinch spoke up:

 

"Would that he were just acting, he had a very good plan.

Act nice and they went to sleep and he had it all there.

The key is that he made the mistake to actually care.

He dressed like Santa, and they bought the whole lie.

And didn’t look twice when he stole everything around.

Ah, I have an idea now how to make this all right!

An Army of Grinches to descend on the Capital!"

The GreenGrinch executes

 

So he went to his treasury and called all his guards,

And started investing in pork and lards,

Then called all his advisors,

and all of his youngest Grinch-lairds,

and he sent them to school to learn PR and business,

and he bought up schools, colleges and created institutions to schmooze

And with Grinches for teachers, he taught Who’s to be Grinches,

They learned about bottom lines, cost cutting and money,

and were taught that Christmas was quaint and quite funny.

And this thing called marketing made them pretend to love it.

While using it to sell soap, and guns and bombs.

 

And he bought all the newspapers and put Grinches in charge,

It wasn’t so hard, they flocked to his standard.

And he bought a thing called TV, and radio, and ambitious whovians.

He trained an army of Grinch lawyers to put poor whovians in jail,

And make sure this thing called justice would serve Grinches without any fail.

Then he assembled an army of Grinches to march on Washington,

Wearing tailored uniform suits, Grinch smiles, and beating little Grinch hearts,

They said “The Whovians are making war on Christmas” year after year,

until even the whovians believed it, in their irrational fear.

Now his army was ready, the plans were in place.

No need for a sleigh, the army had portfolios and briefs at the ready.

And they marched on Washington with abandon and glee,

They were going to save it from Christmas!

The Grinches were ready!

So they marched on the city and filled all it’s halls,

And stole all of it’s money, and painted all of it’s walls.

They still put up the lights and the carols and trees,

But the carols blazed out of boom boxes, recorded years ago,

And were sung by Grinches who rewrote the language!

You had Rancid Previousgrinch,

and his dog Baymore,

the Drunk prince of the House,

And Duke Greengrinch, all fat and smiling like a cat.

You had Rupert Grinchdock with his newspapers and radio,

And his army of Grinches marching in tow.

The Grinch Cantor was singing, Grinch Ryan leading the song.

GrinchConnell lead the singing and the Grinch press the chorus.

The music was Christmas, but the lyrics all were wrong:

“Deck the halls with balls and chains, fa la la la la la la la la

‘tis the season for whips and chains, falalalalalalala

Now yon carrion wants a job! Lob him out! In the snow, tra la la.

We serve our master King Greengrinch, fa la la la la, la la la.”

And their legions descended on Washington and thoroughly trashed the place.

And then the music shifted into a Bolshoi Song

The King of Grinches, PutinGrinch, had been behind it all, all along!

On Both Left and right, Flying Monkey's carried the fight.

And "beautiful" Hotels were erected where once whoville children danced.

Oh I wish there was a happy ending here, but there isn’t.

If you see them for what you are, you’ll soon be seeing double;

You see the Grinches are still in charge, and you and we are in trouble.

They stole Christmas again, and nobody noticed.

Happy Hanukah, merry Christmas, joyous Kwanza and a better new year, I hope.

Notes:

This is an edited, expanded and spell checked poem whose first draft was written: In 2013, rather than rewrite and expand the original I left the rough draft in place so I could play with the poem and expand it. Since 2013, the army of Grinches has expanded to include a dank Dark contingent and Russian Grinches led by the king of Grinches, the Putingrinch. There is too much material for one post so I've decided to put this out there in it's rough glory. I'm cleaning out old posts.

Story References Doctor Suesse’s book “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” (though I prefer the Cartoon Version [Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04_gGu3-_1w]) or this one with songs added: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Swx7PJ9tO1k rest is parody, pure fiction, and mostly my own imagination. Unfortunately the "Grinch" story is a metaphor for Narcissistic behavior and the behavior of the cons who call themselves conservative. The Grinch is pretty much the archetype for the Narcissist, except there is little hope for the growing a heart, even if they hear Christmas music and Who's dancing around a Christmas Tree. Of course it turns out that it is very hard to even hear a Who. But we are like Who's in that we have very real Grinches. Unfortunately like the "Vessens" depicted in the Grimm Series, this is a spiritual thing, and (fortunately or unfortunately for us) they don't vogue and show us their real nature --> so this is all simile, metaphor and it would be in fun, if the deed hadn't been done.
