Every Who in Alberta liked good health a lot.

Grinch Ken ignored science! The logic, the reason!
But, please don't ask why or he'll charge you with treason.
It could be, perhaps, that he lacked wise foresight.
It could be... 2/20

his lips kissed the butts of Far Right.
But I think that the most likely reason of all
May have been that his brain was two sizes too small.
But, whatever the reason, his brain or his schmooze,
He stood there pre-Christmas Eve blaming the Whos,

Podium gripped with a cold, Grinchy frown,
He placed a harsh mandate on every Who-town.
He'd pandered before and been weak-kneed and spineless,
The essentials who worked the front lines had divined this.
"We need a brief shut down," they'd cried and they'd pleaded, 4/20

Grinch Kenney'd refused to do what had been needed.
He'd growled, denied, his Grinch fists tightly clenched,
"Hinshaw's and other's ideas can be benched."
Or my funders, the ones whose donations line pockets
Will tantrum and pout and protest fast as rockets.

And then! Oh, the cash!
Oh, the cash! Cash! Cash! Cash!
They'll empty my coffers, my STASH! STASH! STASH! STASH!
They'll stand close together, with unused masks dangling.
They'll stand hand-in-hand, Far-right Whos will start chanting!"

We're not morons, love Q-Anon
Sheeple put masks on their face!
Jason Kenney, counting pennies
Bow to pressures from your base."
Welcome, the conspiracies
Point fingers at the Chinese
Gather racists, raise your guns
Kenney represents these ones."

And they'll chant! And they'll chant!
And they'll CHANT! CHANT! CHANT! CHANT!!"
And I can't stand up to them, I can't, I just can't!
Why for fifty-two years I've developed a bias!
'Gainst taxing and caring while acting real pious"
Then he got an idea! An awful idea!

Grinch Ken got a wonderful, awful idea!
"I know just what to do! My job, I will shirk.
"Instead I'll impose a stop-gap that won't work"
"This is plan number one," Grinch Ken said mid-November,
And it "surely" will bend the curve 'round mid-December.
Then he hid... 9/20

from the cameras, disappeared from all sight.
While the Whos in Alberta were left to their plight.
The virus didn't pause, as business "restricted."
It spread, wild fire, as the doctors predicted.
The virus attacked elder Whos where they huddled.
And Kenney pretended... 10/20

And Kenney pretended... 10/20
to be quite befuddled.
He slithered and slunk, back in public to speak
Though he would not admit that Plan One had been weak.
It was two weeks 'til Christmas. All the Whos watched intently,
As the Grinch who was Kenney broke the news, not too gently

"He's ruining Christmas!" the Who-bertans yelped.
Grinch Kenney just shrugged "Well, it couldn't be helped."
Ten thousand Who-bertans or more didn't buy it!
"This mess is your fault, don't you dare try deny it!
"My failure to battle COVID is fake news,

you'll forget in two years what's ensued!
"What fools, these Who-bertans!" Grinch Ken thought with glee,
"Their mouths will hang open a minute or three
But the Whos in Who-berta will still vote for me."
"That's a fact," grinned the Grinch, "they'll forget in a year!"

He paused, and then put a hand to his ear.
And he did hear a sound rising over the snow.
It started in low, then it started to grow.
But they chanted AGAINST him!
They called out his failing!
Against old ginch Kenney
Who-bertans were railing!

He hadn't stopped Christmas from coming! It came!
But Who-bertans remembered it wasn't the same!
And Kenney, with his grinch feet ice-cold in the snow,
Stood puzzling and puzzling. "How could it be so?
They remembered the mandates! And reluctance to act!
They remembered him 15/20

hiding while hospitals packed!"
He puzzled and puzzed till his puzzler was sore.
Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before.
Maybe voters, he thought, do remember the past.
Even though he had thought their recall would not last!
And what happened then?

Well, in Whoville they say.
The Grinch was out-voted, they sent him away.
And then the true might
of Who-berta came through,
And the Who-bertans found strength of ten Grinches, plus two!
Forseeing that, now their hearts aren't quite so tight,

And they work and they learn in the bright winter light.
With a smile in their souls, they prepare their zoom meetings
And send out their cards and their seasonal greetings.
They lock down, in Whoville, curb-side their toys
From small local business for Who girls and boys.18/20

They still hang their snoofs and their tringlers and fuzzles,
And bake their pantookas, their dafflers and wuzzles.
They'll click and collect all the food for the feast!
And Instagram photos of tasty roast beast!
