Thomas Jefferson
Every Who Down in AnyAmericantown liked Thanksgiving a lot…
But the Grinch, Who lived in a White House on a hill, Did NOT!
The Grinch hated Thanksgiving and
for the love of “America and family” it represented
for the haves and have-nots!
Now, please don’t ask why. No one quite knows the reason.
It could be his head wasn’t screwed on just right.
It could be, perhaps, that his shoes were too tight.
Could it be he wasn’t an American?
"Bah! Humbug!", we say!
The most likely reason of all,
May have been that his ego was two sizes too tall.
Whatever the reason, his ego or his shoes,
He stood there on the week of Thanksgiving, hating the Whos,
Staring down from his DC castle with a sour, Grinchy frown,
At the warm lighted windows below in their AnyAmericantown.
For he knew every Who down in the town beneath,
Was busy now, making plans to celebrate family, freedom, and turkey,
while some sued the TSA for getting underneath.
“I’ll get those darn Tea Partiers right where it hurts !” he snarled with a sneer,
“Tomorrow is day before Thanksgiving! It’s practically here!”
Then he growled, with his Grinch fingers nervously drumming,
“I MUST find some way to stop them from coming!”
For Tomorrow, he knew, all the Who girls and boys,
Would wake bright and early. They’d rush for their tickets,
their bags, and their dough!
They’d get in their cars and ride through the snow
To Dulles to Reagan to Dallas Ft. Worth
From RDU to O’Hare to LAX
The crowds would commence
And the atmosphere would become extremely intense
When those Whos displayed the “Declaration of Independence”!
But the TSA didn’t care,
the Messiah, aka Grinch, had ordered them to begin
The search for “weapons of liberty” in crevices of men.
And then! Oh, then! NOISE! Oh, the Noise!
Noise! Noise! Noise!
That’s one thing he hated! The NOISE!
The Noise of those who believed in the Constitution,
Who knew their rights and made it be known
TSA get your hands off, do you have no shame?
Dare touch us where the sun doesn’t shine.
And you may end up lame!
Lame like the Democrats who blew their chance,
Now Bobby and friends go home
And watch the rest of us dance!
Back to the story of the Whos, young and old,
Will they crouch down in shame.
Or will they fret? Or will they fight?
No they will reject and shout with all might…
"Freedom prevails! The Whos will not cave.
Our heroes, the Founding Fathers are turning in their grave!”
But while evil Pelosi, Reid and Grinch try to feast on Who-fears,
Whos in AnyAmericantown still roasted their birds and tipped their glasses
To the freedom and liberties of lads and lasses!
The Grinch couldn’t stand this, not in the least!
And THEN they did something he liked least of all!
Every Who down in AnyAmericantown, the tall and the small,
Stood close together, with dinner bells ringing.
They stood hand-in-hand. And the Whos started singing!
They sang! And they sang! And they sang even louder!
“O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea! “
And the more the Grinch thought of this Who Turkey Sing,
The more the Grinch thought, “I can’t stop this whole thing!”
“America prevails, no matter what comes her way.”
Amen. Happy Thanksgiving, America.
