About this listen
The mistlestoe's hung, the bells are a'ringing
And all through the malls Mariah Carey is singing
It's the same old story, told year after year
Of Santa and reindeer and widespread good cheer
But look a bit closer, and you might see a crack
In the stronghold St Nick has had since way back
Where once stood a hero, red coat and beard white
A sack on his sleigh promising Christmas delight
Now stands a figure, towering six foot two tall
With a coat of green fur, heart two sizes too small
The Grinch who stole Christmas is making a play
For the title of hero come this Yuletide day
For poor old Saint Nick, this might not end well
And to give us the lowdown is Dr Lorna Piatti-Farnell.
