In tonight's episode of Glee, Sue Sylvester is Theodor Geisel's iconic title character from The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. I took liberties with the prose, inserting Sue. Enjoy!
Sue Who Stole Christmas
(in the rhythm of Dr. Suess'
The Grinch Who Stole Christmas)
Every Gleek down in Gleek-ville
Liked Christmas a lot...
But Sue, who lived just North of Gleek-ville, did NOT!
Sue hated Christmas! The whole Christmas season!
Now, please don't ask why. No one quite knows the reason.
It could be that her head wasn't screwed on quite right.
It could be, perhaps, that her tracksuit was too tight.
But I think that the most likely reason of all
May have been that her heart was two sizes too small.
...
And THEN
They'd do something he liked least of all!
Every Gleek down in Gleek-ville, the tall and the small,
Would stand close together, with Christmas bells ringing.
They'd stand hand-in-hand. And the Gleeks would start singing!

AND they'd SING! SING! SING! SING!
And the more Sue thought of the Gleek-Christmas-Sing
The more Sue thought, "I must stop this whole thing!
"Why for forty-three years I've put up with it now!
I MUST stop Christmas from coming! But HOW?"
...
She stared down at Gleek-ville!
Sue popped her eyes! Then she shook!
What she saw was a shocking surprise!
Every Gleek down in Gleek-ville, the tall and the small,
Was singing! Without any presents at all!
Se HADN'T stopped Christmas from coming!
IT CAME! Somehow or other, it came just the same!
And what happened then...?
Well...in Gleek-ville they say
That Sue’s small heart grew three sizes that day!
