The woes of Single Grinch Girls

January 16, 2014 by Gabi Powell

Christmas trees and lights have been put back in attics,

It’s soon to be the Whos favorite holiday, well, their second-pick.

And while every Who Ҭdown in Who-villeӬ likes Valentines a lot,

Single Grinch Girls,Ӭwith no sweethearts in Who-ville,Ӭ do not.

Grinch Girls hate Valentines! The whole romantic season!

Now, please don’t ask why. No one quite knows the reason.

It could be that pink is their least favorite color.

It could be, perhaps, that the cards cost too many dollars.

But I think that the most likely reason of all,

May be that their relationship statuses have been “single” too long.

But whatever the reason, Facebook status or liking of blue,

They will stand there on Valentines Day, avoiding “I love you’s”.

Pausing their rom-coms, and setting down ice cream spoons,

Single Grinch Girls will scowl at love in full bloom.

“And they’re hugging their stuffed bears!” they’ll snarl with sneers.

“Next month is Valentines! It’s practically here!”

“Then there’ll be flowers,” with Single Grinch fingers nervously drumming,

“We must find a way to keep Cupid from coming!”

For, next month, they know,

All the Who gents will take out their misses.

And they’ll kiss! And they’ll kiss!”¨ And they’ll kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!

They will start on Who-candy hearts, and tricky Who-chocolates,

Which is something Single Grinch Girls consider quite thoughtless.

Every couple in Who-ville, the smitten and swooned,

Will partake in something, a tradition to be mocked.

They gift stuffed bears and exchange mushy cards written by Hallmark.

"Ending my college education early was always the plan for me, but the things that I have been able to see, experience and examine about ACU’s community were not. I have found immense growth in ACU over the past three and a half years, but ACU still has a long road to climb if it wants to keep catering to students as the world changes around them."
