How the Grinch Stole the Post Office

A little holiday message to explain the coming holiday wreckage

I thought I’d bestow a little holiday gloom

by reminding you of the grinch who’s still in the room.

That DeJoy remains in his postmaster post

threatens our snail mail from coast to coast.

I don’t mean to spoil your holiday fun,

just to say there’s more work to be done.

No problem we face is insurmountable,

as long as we hold those in power accountable

And fight anyone who abuses their office

So we don’t succumb to the rich and the lawless.

Thanks for what you do to protect our democracy

From tyrants and crooks and our own aristocracy.

As for me, when I’m not teaching in academia,

I’m teaching in videos with Inequality Media —

with talented young colleagues who know how to tell

what’s really occurring, so you’ll know as well.

Please take a look at what we’ve just done

And pass it along, for holiday fun.

(Not really fun, perhaps, given the tone

but please watch and see if it tickles a bone.)

Feel free to add your own holiday poem in the comments.
