'The Grinch's Oratory'

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Bah,the Holidays I hate this time of year And you'll understand after my story you hear It happened long ago I tell you,I was framed But ever since that time for the crime I am blamed They called me a thief they told me I'd pay For being the guy who stole Christmas day I did'nt understand for I had always thought One got a fair trial before one was shot Before jury selection deemed guilty as I could get They'd have found me guilty had we never met I'd never do a crime as heinous as that I leave all that stuff to the "Cat in the Hat" For all these years maligned in such stench Forever now called the "Evil Mr.Grinch" Well listen to this you tore up "Legal eagles" You don't possess the smarts of either one of my Beagles Somebody else did this and if I only knew I guarantee by New Years that they would be through You don't think I like lights and singing Christmas Carols? Don't think I enjoy drinking "nog" down by the barrels? Trimming trees is fun I used to enjoy that But I can't anymore thanks to some dirty rat So as you all party and bring in a New Year I only speak the truth really loud and clear Whoever you are that did this to me One of these years soon your ass belongs to me eak © 1999 Written November 16th, 2001 © on Nov 15 2001 04:29 PM PST   0 • 14
