But whatever the reason
for this character
flaw
,
He stood there that
day,
hating it all
!
Staring down from above
like a
sour grinchy fool
At PM being pulled at the
Camp Who-ville
motor pool
.
"They're all getting
ready!" he snarled with
a
sneer
.
"Tomorrow's
Command
Maintenance Day
! It's
practically
here
!"
Then he growled, with his
Grinch fingers nervously
drumming
,
I must
find some way to
stop
this
PM
from
coming
!
For tomorrow, he knew
...
all
the soldiers
below
Bright and early
would
wake
and to the
motor pool
go
!
And the more private Grinch
thought what tomorrow
would
bring
,
The more he determined,
"I must
stop
this
whole
thing
!
"Why, for most of
my life I've put up
with it
now
!
"I MUST
stop
all
this
PM
from
coming.
..but
HOW
?"
He thought for an
hour
,
He thought for a
day
.
By the time the
sun set
private Grinch thought
of a
way
!
Just the
thought
made
his poor old
grinchy head
throb
!
Then each soldier,
young
and
old
, would sit down to
his
job
.
