What happened in Bali - Dr. Seuss Style


When the Who's left Kyoto, they were actually singing,
But they had no idea what Santa was actually bringing.
The who's had a champion, he was vice-Who when he signed.
When he lost to the Grinch, his reputation was maligned.
The promises he made dropped out of sight,
Like Santa's sleigh, they slipped away into the night.

Ten years later, the Who's gathered in Bali this time.
Half-heatedly expecting an international crime.
These Who's didn't see what was the matter
And why the Grinches couldn't dim down the clatter.

The Who's met their goals, their targets were clear
The Grinches couldn't even agree on the year.
The Grinch furled his brown, lamented the progress he made
His emissions, however, grew three sizes that decade.

"Your emissions are high, and your gases will trap
All the heat created by your long winter's nap.
By melting your snow, and filling the sea
You are taking away all of our sovereignty."

The Grinch has since learned all of the facts,
So he sent to negotiate his trusted friend Max.
The pup had a plan, it wasn't all bluster
He screamed out loud with all the strength he could muster.

"You Who's down in Whoville - your emissions are low
They are high in Grinch land, its tough - don't you know.
Before we will act, Who's must cap what they emit
Until that you do that, the Grinch won't sign shit."

Who's called Max a Luddite, a dino, a boor
But Max held firm to his promise to sewer
The talks if he didn't get his way quick
At home, it was thought he was being a dick

Right before they went home, no deal was in sight
The tables turned, on Max's last night
They agreed, in principle, about the right thing to do
We will go forward together, leaving this zoo

And Cindy Lou Who, patiently waiting at home
Wonders if when she is older, she will live in a dome
Because last time they agreed to reduce all those gases
They did nothing but sit around on their fat lazy asses.
