Ross sez, “I was reading Thomas Meyer’s great new translation of Beowulf when the annual showing of The Grinch came on. The potential for a mash-up overwhelmed me, and this is the result.”
Every Scylding in Heorot liked mead a lot,
But Grendel the beast, roaring outside did not.Grendel hated Scyldings, the whole Danish clan.,
Can I say why? I don’t think I can.He spied on the Scyldings, he fumed and he wailed.,
He watched as in Heorot they drank mead and drank ale.
