Grinch: Supervillain Premiere Contest Winner

The cruelest of all villains lives on Mount Crumpit
for when it comes to Christmas, he says, "Dump it!"
He keeps trying to "Pooh pooh" that sacred holiday,
but so far everyone's efforts have kept him at bay.

Oh, he's a real mean one, that monster, Mr. Grinch
A devilish fiend that I would love to catch and lynch
I'd gladly dump his body in a cactus patch or ditch
if someone would tell me where he is. It's ok to snitch.

To celebrate Christmas, he has never been willin'
to let children enjoy the day.  He needs to be chillin'
and stop trying to ruin the holiday when Santa comes,
and if he's a good grinch, he might get a set of drums.

He's big and he's a beast, bad-tempered to say the least
so, he's never been invited to join in a Christmas feast.
Oh, he's a vile one, that Mr. Grinch with flesh of green,
a supervillain without a heart, meanest of the mean!

He's such a grouch, wanting to commit the dirty deed
of stealing Christmas and that makes him a bad seed.
What an evil wretch to kidnap Santa and children's toys.
That's one of his sinister schemes and dastardly ploys.

If I can catch him sleeping before December rolls around,
I'll find a way to bring that thieving horrible creature down.
Oh, he's a mean one with a twisted soul, that Mr. Grinch. 
Will you help me rid the world of him if I get into a pinch?

It’s funny the things that pass you by or you simply don’t fancy. I’ve literally never watched the Grinch, and I know almost nothing about him… AHA! I do now. Thanks for enlightening me as to that snivelling little killjoy. All the best in the contest, Jenna. Bah, humbug… oops!

It IS funny, Terry, and I have to tell you I'd never watched a Grinch movie until last year, although the premise of the villain is widely known. I'm glad you enjoyed this tale. Thanks.
