Every Who down in Who-ville liked Christmas a lot...
But the Grinch, who lived just North of Who-ville, did NOT!
But there was something worse that came and stole the real Christmas Spirit
In the form of a tie, yes a clench... turn to CNN and you’ll hear it.

For there was a governor and vice president indeed
Who fought for the top spot with malice and greed!!
And when they tied and couldn’t decide just who had won
They took all the air out of Christmas and took out the fun.

So instead of Yuletide stories of children, moms and dads
All we hear about are danglers and deadlines and chads
Instead of old Saint Nick preparing for his ride from up North
Everyone is focusing on Florida, and the handcounts henceforth,

Staring down from the courts with a sour Grinchy frown
All the lawyers on the left, and the right go to town
Filing the lawsuits and the writs and the briefs
“I have won,” said the Bush but that was not the Gore’s belief

So they battled and clenched and faced each other with a sneer
Ruining our Christmas, Why it’s almost here!!
All the Who’s who work at Visa and Mastercard too
Will get no Christmas bonus, for there’s no shopping ballyhoo

And what of that Grinch? Did love the coup?
To see someone else do what he could not do?
To see Christmas ruined and stole from the Whos
And to watch it all from home on the nightly news?

Who could have thought that so much damage could come from tie
Two men wrenching and clenching and making alibi
Standing haggard and defiant, both men seem to dare us
To try and enjoy Christmas as much as Katherine Harris

And though they both think they’re standing right and tall
We all have watched their hearts shrink two sizes too small
So who will win the tie, and feast on the beast
While all us Whos get no victory in the least
