Christmas Rhymes: a Pinch of Grinch

On the Who Net a rumor was making its way
the mean old green Grinch planned to steal Christmas Day!

Cindy Lou Who(who was not more than two)
and all the Who kids knew just what they'd do.

Thus on Christmas Eve they all went to bed
like angels—parents didn't care what they'd said!

The kids all kept watch out their windows that night
just waiting for “Green Ass” to come into sight,

which he did as I'm sure it's not hard to guess
so they had their stuff ready to get in his mess.

He came into Cindy Lou Who's window first;
she was so excited she practically burst!

But she had her air gun loaded and ready
and looked through the cross hairs right good and steady.

Before the Grinch entered not one leg, but two
she'd leveled her weapon right at his “Hoo-Hoo”!

He not only screamed like a banshee from hell
he jumped from the house and ran off as well.

The other Who kids knew what to do, too:
they jumped from their windows and shouted, “Guess Who?”

They shot him in just the same place Cindy hit,
with all the abuse it had grown quite a bit!

They kept shooting and shooting as he quickly ran
like a big old wet booger they'd tossed in the can!

It wasn't his heart that three sizes grew,
but his now-swollen, green-tighted, throbbing Hoo-Hoo!

The Next morning Who Christmas came after all,
with all of the new toys the kids had a ball!

The Grinch was not seen again by the Who;
with a Hoo-Hoo that swollen, I'd stay home too!
