Down in a swamp, deep in the bog,
there was a green gremlin, that sat on a log.
Alone he did live, for most of his life,
never would he, have himself a wife.
From his curvy green snoot to his pointy green ears,
the gremlin was something that people did fear.
His hijinx were crude and on the whole mean,
such a sick creature the world hadn't seen.
He plopped in his chair, and snagged a newspaper,
he'd read it now, for he lacked the time later.
It was ten plus three, in the month of February,
And upcoming was a day that was most arbitrary.
As he read the news, an ad caught his eye.
For that stupid love day, that he did despise.
"I hate it! I loathe it! Down with it, I say!
For I am the Gremlin, that'll ruin this day!"
"Love is evil; its all a big scam!"
He said as he hatched his maniacal plan.
So the big night came, and the gremlin went to town,
"You'd better be ready! This holidays going down!"
He broke in a store, and threw loot in a bag,
"I must take it all; this stuff makes me gag!"
On to the next store where he cleaned off its shelf,
throwing loot in his bag he said to himself:
"Such fools, such clods: soon they will
see!
That no one can celebrate without
candy!"
After looting the town, back
to the swamp he did lurk,
he pulled up a chair as the scheme went to
work.
He awoke the next day and
read the headline:
"Despite Lack of Candy, Val-Day Comes on
Time!"
"Blast it! Dang it! I'll show them this
time!
I'll go into town and give a piece of my
mind!"
He threw down his paper and
grabbed all his goods,
Then set out for the town, going deep through
the woods.
When he got to town, all the
people were together,
hugging and kissing; a disturbing human
tether.
And they were all happy, so the gremlin did
thrash,
there was still love despite, how the day had
been trashed.
"Darn all of you, you
ruined my scheme!
Now I will have to resort to something even
more mean!
For I am the gremlin that lives in the
swamp
"
As he continued to mumble his
weak threats aloud,
he was cut off by a voice from deep in the
crowd,
"You are the gremlin, gee I've been
confused!
I am the postman, with letters for you!"
"I must have lost your
address, oh me oh my my!
Here is a sack of Valentines from years gone
by!"
He stared at them, and looked
rather pale
a huge bag of cards that got lost in the
mail.
All for him, lost for all of these years
he was so happy he became covered with tears.
So he took out the candy and
gave it away,
Thus making ol Grem the hero of
the day.
