How the Grinch stole the Peeps!
(By Blackhawk and Dr. Suess)
Every Who Down in Servo-ville Liked Peeps a lot...
But the Grinch, Who lived just
north of Servo-ville, Did NOT!
The Grinch hated Peeps!
The whole KPS season!,
Now please don't ask why.
No one quite knows the reason.
It could be his head was screwed
on too tight. It could be,
perhaps, that his truths were too
right. But I think that the most
likely reason of all May have
been that his smile was two
sizes too small.
But,
Whatever the reason, His smile or
his truths, He stood there on
KPS Eve, hating the Whos,
Staring down from his cave over
his sour, Grinchy snoot At the warm
lighted windows below in their group.
For he knew every Who down in
Servo-ville (such fakes!) Were busy now,
all having Kermit Krab wakes.
"And they're hanging their
mascot!" he snarled with a
sneer, "Tomorrow they'll Peep!
They're practically here!" Then he
growled, with his Grinch fingers
nervously drumming, "I MUST find
some way to stop the KPS from
coming!"
...All the Who then wakened from sleep Would
rise bright and early. They'd rush for their
Memes! And then! Oh, the noise! Oh, the
meme! meme! meme! meme! That's one thing he
hated! The Meme! Meme!
Meme! Meme! Then the
Whos, young and old, would
sit down to a Wake. And
they would be sad! And they'd
be Sad! And they'd be SAD!
SAD! SAD! SAD!
They would feast on
Who-beer, and rare
Who-roast Krab Which was
something the Grinch
thought inherently bad!
And THEN They'd do something He liked
least of all! Every Who down in Servo-ville,
the tall and the small, Would find boring
threads, with KPS posts leaping. They'd
post one by one. And the Whos would
start peeping!
They'd peep! And they'd peep! And they'd
PEEP! PEEP! PEEP! PEEP! And the more the
Grinch thought of this Who-KPS-Peep,
The more the Grinch thought, "I must stop
these creeps!" "Why, for fifty-three
years I've put up with it now!" "I MUST
stop this KPS from coming!
...But HOW?"
Then he got an idea! An
awful idea! THE GRINCH GOT
A WONDERFUL, AWFUL IDEA!
"I know just what to do!"
The Grinch laughed in his throat.
And he made a quick
Kermit Krab hat and coat.
And he chuckled, and clucked,
"What a great Grinchy trick!"
"With this coat and this hat,
I look just like ol' Kermit!"
"All I need is a beer keg..."
The Grinch looked around.
But, since kegs are scarce,
there was none to be found.
Did that stop the old Grinch...?
No! The Grinch simply said,
"If I can't find a Beer Keg,
I'll make one instead!" So
he called his dog, Holland.
Then he took a big hose
And he tied a small spigot
on the top of Bob's nose.
THEN He loaded some glasses
And old bags that throbbed.
On a fake spoiler spaceship
And he hitched up old Bob.
Then the Grinch said,"Giddap!"
And the ship started down
Toward the group where the Whos
Lay a-snooze in their town.
All their branes were dark.
Jaimes' thoughts filled with poop.
All the Whos were all dreaming
lucid dreams in a loop.
When he came to the first
little thread on the group.
"This is stop number one,"
the old Grinchy Kermit hissed
And he climbed to the header,
the old bags in his fist.
Then he entered the references.
A rather tight pinch.
But, if Kermit could do it,
then so could the Grinch.
He lost his place once,
for a moment or two.
Then he stuck his head out
of a Plain and Simple clue
Where the little Who memes
all hung in a row.
"These memes," he grinned,
"are the first things to go!"
Then he slithered and slunk,
with a smile most mean,
Around the whole room,
and he took every meme!
Peeps! And Milla!
Butter! And Anti-Voyager Zombies!
Poops! And Marcia!
Farley! And Evil Purple Bunnies!
He stuffed them in the old hags.
Then the Grinch, very nimbly,
Stuffed all the old bags,
one by one, up the chimbley!
Then he slunk to the icebox.
He took the Whos' Wake!
He took the Cheezy Poofs!
He took the Krab Kake!
He cleaned out that icebox
as quick as passed gas
Why, that Grinch even took
their last can of Whoop-ass!
Then he stuffed all the food
up the chimney with glee.
"And NOW!" grinned the Grinch,
"I will stuff up the peeps!"
And the Grinch grabbed the peeps,
and he started to shove
When he heard a small sound
like the coo of a dove.
He turned around fast, and he saw a small Who!
Little LisaB Who, who was not more than two...
The Grinch had been caught by this tiny Who's grin
Who'd got out of bed to do the Time Warp again.
She stared at the Grinch and said softly, "Kermit, ,
"Why are you taking all of our Peeps, eh dammit?"
But, you know, that old Grinch was so smart and so slick
He thought up a lie, and he thought it up quick!
"Why, my sweet little tot," the fake Kermit lied,
"There's a Peep in this box that has a Bizarro eye."
"So I'm taking it home to my library, my dear."
"I'll fuck with it there. Then I'll bring it back here."
And his fib fooled the child. Then he patted her head
And he got her a JackB and he sent her to bed.
And when LisaB Who went to bed with her hub,
HE went to the chimney and stuffed the Peeps up!
Then the last thing he took
Was the brunt of their ire!
Then he went up the newsgroup,
himself, the old liar.
On their threads he left nothing
but troll hooks and fire.
And the one speck of news
That he left in the group
Was even too small
for Il Porko's poop.
Then He did the same thing To the other Whos' nits
Leaving followups too small For the other Whos' wit!
By a quarter past dawn... He was done with their shit,
All the Whos, still a-snooze When he packed up his ship,
Packed it up with their memes! The ascii! The Real Love(tm)!
The peeps! And the pajamas! The Bar! The Jitlov!
Three thousand feet up! Up the side of Mt. Usenet,
He rode with his load to the tiptop to erase it!
"Fuck you to the Whos!" he was grinch-ish-ly humming.
"They're finding out now that no KPS is coming!"
"They're just waking up! I know just what they'll do!"
"Their mouths will hang open a minute or two
Then the Whos down in Servo will all cry
Boo Who Calloo!"
"That's a squeal,"
grinned the Grinch,
"That I simply MUST hear!"
So he paused. And the Grinch
put his toe to his ear.
And he did hear a sound
peeping over the snow.
It started in low.
Then it started to grow...
But the sound wasn't sad!
Why, this sound sounded so, So!
Could he have gone mad?
But it WAS So, SO!
He stared down at Servo-ville!
The Grinch popped his eyes!
Then he <barf>ed! What he saw
was a shocking surprise!
Every Who down in Servo-ville,
the tall and the small,
Was posting n' peeping!
Without any memes at all!
He HADN'T stopped the J.I.H.A.D. from coming! IT CAME!
Somehow or other, it came just the same!
And the Grinch, with his grinch-feet ice-cold in the know,
Reviewed all the aspects: "How could it be so?"
"It came with out underwear! It came without Porko!"
"It came without philtrum, Heck or Bizarro!"
And he puked for three hours, till his puker was sore.
Then the Grinch thought of something Heidegger hadn't before!
"Maybe the KPS," he thought, "Aren't just intellectual whores."
"Maybe the KPS...perhaps...memes a little bit more!"
And what happened then...? Well...in Servo-ville they say
That the Grinch's small <grin> Grew three sizes that day!
And the minute his head didn't feel quite so Right,
He whizzed with his load [1] through the subject morphing light
And he brought back the Peeps! And the food for the Wake!
And he...
...HE HIMSELF...! The Grinch, served the first Krab Kake!
THE END
**
Blackhawk KPS S.I.T.I.
Peeps on Earth, Good memes toward men.
*Peep*, Fuck you, and good night.
