How I made the Grinch miserable (AKA happy): Take Martha May on a cruise for the honeymoon, they said! It'll be lots of fun, they said! Lots of fun! HA! The tropics were too warm, I missed my icy cave back home. And the ocean smells funny. And Martha insisted we go out to a fancy ball they hosted on the cruise, so I had to dress up AGAIN! Dressed in a tux twice in the same YEAR! Blugh!... But there were lots of pretty girls on board... Hope Martha didn't catch me staring.

How I made the Grinch miserable (AKA happy): Even though he hated the sweater, he hated the figgy pudding, he hated the attention. But deep inside his small heart, was a slight spark. As the night went on and dancing ensued, on the Grinch's face a small smiled did start. He enjoyed the attention which he had not had in so long.

How I made the Grinch miserable (AKA happy):

The night and lights of the season are truly who-festive.
Who-jollies and fig mollies all dressed in there bestive.

Body-glitter, nog and hot pant glamorivities
Got the sparkling Grinch on the dance floor to enjoy the festivities.

(translation: I took the Grinch Christmas party club hopping)

How I made the Grinch miserable (AKA happy):
That cranky old Grinch, how hated the noise
Made by those sweet little Who girls and boys!
But one little Who girl they called Cindy Lou
Thought maybe, just maybe she knew what to do.
"Perhaps all his anger is from feeling left out!"
And the plan that she formed then and there left no doubt
That she'd finally found the secret to make him join in
And replace that sour-puss face with a grin!
A sure-fire way to make the Grinch merry...
"In the Nutcracker, I'll cast him as the Sugar Plum Fairy!"
So up to his cave at the top of Mount Crumpet,
went small Cindy Lou, just as brass as a trumpet.
She knocked on his door and she told him his part
But he stuck out his tongue with a sound like a fart.
"I'd sooner eat dirt!" he said with a heave
But sweet Cindy Lou gave a tug on his sleeve.
"Ya know, you'd be famous..." she said, sounding sly,
And pausing, the Grinch turned with a glint in his eye.
"Famous, you say?" his mouth gave a twitch
As he imagined hundreds of cheering fans, making him rich!
So the Grinch agreed to be in her play,
A famous (and magical) Christmas ballet.
But one little detail she forgot to mention...
Was the costume he'd wear to earn that attention![COLOR="lightseagreen"]

How I made the Grinch miserable (AKA happy): To get away from the horrid festivities in Whoville the Grinch found an online deal for a one week deal in a private area. He was excited to get away from everyone and spend time alone so he immediately booked it.
Once there he found out that he would be farm-sitting for a family when they went on vacation. All the happy animals and beautiful weather made him feel sick to his stomach. No matter how mean he was to the animals they still came near him and even went on his body! He couldn't believe he was stuck on this farm for a whole week!
Never again will he leave his mountain lair.

How I made the Grinch miserable (AKA happy):
Outside a cave a mysterious box is left
The stranger disappears, their movements deft.

Kittens with blue eyes and fur as dark as night
Are sure to be received as a delight.

But here Mr Grinch is not so pleased
Tissue grasped in his hand, he sneezed.

"They howl and bite and crawl all over me,
Menaces even without my allergy!"

How I made the Grinch miserable (AKA happy): He's so grumpy, and mean. He cant keep living this way; so he thought to himself what he always wanted to do, he always wanted to sing. How can a grumpy old meanie ever go up on a stage and sing? How would the world look at him?
Ah, he come up with an idea of changing himself, just for that one day, just to follow his dream. Wow, he up on the stage! A shy smile came across his face; what is this feeling? I am happy, yes? Yes indeed!
-some one throws a sunflower on stage, oh and a pie!-
And by the way he looks fabulous!

How I made the Grinch miserable (AKA happy): Oh that Cindy Lou. She may seem like a innocent and sweet little Who, but she is a demon. Let's play she said. It'll be fun she said. Bah, first the little demon dresses me up like a girl, then puts make up on me. As if that wasn't enough she didn't bother to tell me that Martha May was coming over. Oh the humilation I felt when the my love...I mean...nevermind. I will get her back for this I swear. *laughs evilly with a grin*

How I made the Grinch miserable (AKA happy): Well, I took into consideration that my poor friend, Grinch, was alone during the Holidays. So out of the kindness of my heart, I tied him up and forced him, invited him over to my place. At first, he was miserable, rude and kind of brought the entire mood down. I was receiving complaints about the way he smelled and how he just went wherever he pleased like a dog that wasn't house broken. So I came up with a great idea out of desperation and decided to hand Grinch some booze. I had hopes that it would loosen him up some, ya know? Make him a bit more chatty and put him into the mood..buut, ooh. it most certainly did everything I had hoped for and more. Unfortunately. Grinch became very talkative and was definitely in the spirit. He ended up taking his pants off, which was a bit uncomfortable and many of my guests began leaving. How awful! I was upset and on the verge of kicking him out. But to my surprise, Martha May showed up and was all over him! That took care of him for awhile. At first he was miserable, then he was very...err..festive, and he ended up miserable again. Poor thing drank waaay too much and ended up puking all over the place. His date left covered in his... half digested fluids. I don't think the Grinch will ever show his face again.

How I made the Grinch miserable (AKA happy):

A week before Christmas, there was lots of who cheeer
The Grinch he could hear it, from far and from near
Sick of their banter, caterwauls, and good fun
The Grinch decided it was time for some sun
Away from the who's he left in a hurry
To escape all that happiness, fun, and snow flurries.
But where he escaped to was just as bad if not worse
There was more people here than at home, what a curse!
He couldn't escape from the next thing that happened.
They caught him up quick, and he really was saddened.
They stuck his grinch feet in some wheeley contraption!

He slipped and he slid, all over the dock
And than his whole world went out like a clock.
When his eyes finally opened, they'd wrapped up his face.
From the blood that he'd made when it his the wrong place.
They cheered him on, to just try again.
He groaned and he sputtered, and argued, and pleed.
But the crowd of people, were just all worse than he.

With an injured face, and a bruised ego.
The grinch cried in misery and had fun with the people.

How I made the Grinch miserable (AKA happy): The grinch was sitting, high in his home
Sulking about, watching shopping whos roam
"They're all laughing and giggling buying Whosits and whatsits
Well I've had enough! It's the last straw, that does it"
"I'll devise a plan to put them in their place
I'll put an end to the shopping who race!"
When just at that moment, there was a tap at the door
The grinch stood there and wondered 'who could that be? What might be in store?'
He opened the door and found a group of mischievous whos
"We hate all the hustle and bustle of Christmas shopping, we agree with you!"
"We've come up with a plan, the kind that will defeat
The hustle and bustle, we just need you to be complete"
The grinch seized the opportunity and agreed in an instant
When one of the whos stepped forward and said "we forgot to mention.."
"For our plan to work and take form
We are all required to wear these...uniforms"
The grinch sat there puzzled, at the side-ways glance they all gave,
But reluctantly agreed, and got dressed in his cave
He emerged in a blue suit, sunglasses and coat
He sat there and wondered what this was all about
The whos explained how they would go into the city,
and stand in the middle of the streets, decorated so pretty
"We'll cause havoc and people will stare!"
The grinch needed to hear no more, he was ready, he was there!
They all marched one by one down the side of Mt. Crumpet
'When we begin, we must throw off our coats!' one who exclaimed like a trumpet
They finally arrived in the middle of whoville
all lined up and ready, the grinch feeling evil
One of the whos exclaimed "It's time! Now throw off your coats!"
And as they all did, music started playing with a jolt
The Grinch began to realize, as the song Gangnam Style began to play
It wasn't an angry mob at all...., but a flash mob! "Oi Vey"
Indeed the whos did start to stare
But instead of havoc, happiness and laughter filled the air
The laughter and music was absolutely entrancing
And soon the Grinch too found himself dancing
The Grinch gave in to the who's laughter
He decided that maybe it wasn't so bad to be in this Christmas spectacular
