Ansir of Who-ville offered a test
to the Grinch who stole Christmas
and stole it the best
with an attention to detail
to derail any plan
the Grinch stole Christmas
with a Diligent hand.
his eyebrows betrayed him
his bitterness showed
a guarded Grinch heart
in Sentinel clothes
monumental irritation
and a vision so clear
a plan clicked in place
this bitter Visionary's peer.
he stole all their buttons
and all of their clothes
he was even so thorough
he stole all their holes
the hairs on his head
and the toes on his feet
snickered and snickered
at his devious deceit
but when the trappings proved worthless
and song leapt in their hearts
the grinch changed his own
and grew a little more...
Self-smart.
