You’re A Mean One

With apologies to Dr. Seuss and my readers and, as compensation, leaving it up to you to decide which politico is Mr Grinch….

You’re a mean one, Mr. Grinch.
You really are a heel.
You’re as happy as a Conrad
Whizzing by in your black
Limou-eel.

You’re a penny pincher
with a penchant for spending

On that lovely womanly
Automated voice.

Your brain is full of nonsense
Of drivers being paid too little
While customers bunch up on the
platform
Spilling up the middle.

I wouldn’t touch you, with the
CN Tower turned on its side.

You’re a vile one, Mr. Grinch.
You have deceit in your grin.
You speak of service
on the one hand
And slash subway plans
on the other.

The three words that best describe you,
are “Liar, Lying, Lied.”

You’re a rotter, Mr. Grinch.
You’re the emperor of new thoughts.
Your heart swells and bursts
with moldy black pocks.
Mr. Grinch.

You’re a panini sandwich hiding
lily white toadstool
and rohypnol sauce.

    I think the biggest clue as to whom this may be about was here:

    “You’re a penny pincher
    with a penchant for spending

    On that lovely womanly
    Automated voice.”

    Not that I don’t like the stops being called out however…

    LOL!

    It is rather nice to have the stops called out. Her booming voice rather startled me when I first heard it, and then I learnt about all these stops I had no idea existed! I guess the drivers hadn’t known about them either until she told them.
