He thought up a lie, and he thought it up quick!
"Why, my sweet little corpse," the fake Fleezy Claus lied,
"This willpower core won't light on one side.
"So I'm taking it home to my workshop, on Maltus.
"I'll bring it back there. Then I'll be glad for you to kill us!"
And his fib fooled the corpse. Then he patted her head
And he led her to Stewart's and he sent her to his bed.
And when Katma Tui , went to a bed for her sup'.
HE went to the chimney and stuffed the battery up!
Then the last thing he took
Was the Kilowog's green ringlet.
Then he went up the chimney himself, the old piglet.
On their hands he left nothing but empty fingers, and
green singlet.
And the one speck of food
That he left in the fort
Was a crumb that was even too small for G'nort.
Then
He did the same thing
To the other Lantern homes
Taking all
That he saw
For he knew it was time to call in his loans!
It was quarter past dawn...
All the GLs, still a-bed
All the GLs, still a-snooze
When he packed up his sled,
Packed it up like a wiz! The Rings! The Batteries!
All his! All the Lanterns! The Green! All for Larfleeze!
Three thousand feet up! One side of outer space,
He floated there ready to absorb at his pace!
"Pooh-pooh to the Lanterns!" he was Fleeze-ish-ly humming.
"They're finding out now that Christmas is mine!
"They're just waking up! I know just what they'll do!
"Their mouths will hang open a minute or two
"Then all the GLs down on Mogo will all cry OA, WHAT WILL WE DOOO?!"
"That's a noise," grinned Larfleeze,
"That I simply must have!"
