Perfect Leader, Perfect Society?
The Turkey who stole Thanksgiving
This blog begins with a description of the overall plot and allegory of the fairy story and a modified introduction from the narrator of the film ‘The Grinch Who Stole Christmas’.
The Mayor of Simpsville, Quimby, portrays the whole society of Simpsville and all of its yellow creatures, the Simpsons. He is a corrupted politician and a womanizer. But most of all, he is an ungrateful bastard who does not value the significance of Thanksgiving.
The story begins with the preparations for the holiday of Thanksgiving. All the Simpsons are decorating their houses with luxury and are constantly acting selfishly. Far away, a lonely turkey, Frinch, is contemplating this awful and sinful city of Simpsville. He abhorred Thanksgiving. But why?
It was an honor to be elected as turkey of the year. But unfortunately, Frinch had never won anything. Mayor Quimby only chose the fat and muscular turkeys to be sacrificed for the Thanksgiving meal. It was an honor for a turkey to be sacrificed. Frinch was the only turkey left in Simpsville. Mayor Quimby had to import turkeys from other places because he could not tolerate thin turkeys for Thanksgiving. Why couldn’t Mayor Quimby be grateful for having at least Frinch to eat? At least he would not starve on Thanksgiving like other Simpsons on other places.
Frinch hated Mayor Quimby with all his might. Where was the meaning of Thanksgiving then? Mayor Quimby was never thankful for what he had. All the Simpsons were like him. They were ungrateful and only thought of themselves.
Simpsville: This place represents a sinful environment/corrupted city.
Turkey Frinch (narrator): He represents the lowest caste in Simpsville. He is a clear example of the unfairness and discrimination within a society. Frinch embodies the moral lesson in the story.
Pepito: Pepito is the Frinch’s best friend, a Mexican Fly.
Introduction
Inside a fall leaf…
Like the color of your beef…
Lay the small town of Simpsville---
The home of the Simpsons!
And the Simpsville band marched,
With Matt, their fat and fabulous turkey.
They loved Thanksgiving the most…
Without a single dose of doubt.
But the Frinch who lived
In a plateau, just south of Simpsville…
Did not.
The Turkey Who Stole Thanksgiving Frinch (From his plateau with binoculars): 
Just look at them preparing for Thanksgiving Pepito. Just look at them with their fancy Cruella Devil clothes and their clownish makeup. Could they be any more shallow and vulgar? You can even see from here Bart riding a skateboard naked! I bet Homer is eating like a pig while his kid is running nude around the entire city.
GOBBLE GOBBLE! Those Simpsons are brainless! Why do they call this holiday Thanksgiving? They should call it ‘Thinkful’. Maybe by ‘thinking’ they could realize you need to be thankful on Thanksgiving day duhh!
That mayor does no good at all. He pays a lot of money to the police officers, but the police officers only take advantage of his stupidity. He also increased the taxes, but where does that money go? I only see his belly getting bigger. Quimby just seats in his massive chair and gives orders with his sausage yellow fingers! It’s as if we had no mayor at all. Can you believe he salivates more than a dog? I can’t believe even the mayor treats me unfairly. He is spending more money than necessary by importing the turkey for this Thanksgiving. He could use that money to feed poor Simpsons and could eat me on this Thanksgiving. At least he has ME! I AM something! He should consider me as an integral part of this society.
I’ve been forgiving those ‘Simps-vile’ criminals for a long time. They think I’m a hermit. Pff! I have you, my trustworthy fly, the turkey’s best friend. At least I have more feelings than those heartless yellow creatures. I guess I could use a little social interaction! This year I will avenge my unfortunate life! I will steal Matt, this year’s turkey. GOBBLE GOBBLE GOBBLE!
Narrator:So the Frinch started with his scheme on a Thanksgiving dayHe put on his thief mask and went away.He went to the townWhere he saw fried Matt with a frown. He entered the mayor’s house and kitchen And he stole the Thanksgiving turkey that looked like a fried chicken. The Frinch (back in his plateau and gobbling): GOBBLE GOBBLE!Now I’ll never squabble!I have wrecked Thanksgiving dayAnd made them pay!Meanwhile, Pepito went to talk with the mayor to tell him about his immoralities. He thought this was smarter than stealing a turkey…
Pepito (with a Mexican accent):
Mr. Mayor,
Pardon the Frinch’s stupid misdeeds
And don’t worry, he’s got no weed.
Please, stop with your peccadilloes!
Can’t you realize you are the antihero?
Today’s Thanksgiving,
If you give your turkey to the poor you’ll be sparing.
You are selfish
And the people of Simpsville are cockish.
Please, it’s Thanksgiving
Start a moral living.
Choose the Frinch as this year’s turkey
And you will begin a thankful journey!
At the end, Mayor Quimby donated his fat turkey to the poor Simpsons in Simpsville. Pepito, the Frinch, and Mayor Quimby became friends and celebrated with Tequila before frying the Frinch for Thanksgiving. Quimby and the Simpsons learned their lessons and were thankful forever.
