"And they're hanging their stockings!"
Grinch snarled with a sneer. But we all know the story that set his heart strumming,
Grinch found that he couldn’t stop Christmas
from coming.
(With thanks to Dr. Seuss and Michelangelo)
But what the story never said Is how Grinch got all that on his ramshackle sled. Perhaps gifts were large, but most - certainly small, Or Max could not pull that large load at all. Dogs with fake antlers have limited might, Even for Christmas – it just wasn’t that light!

Perhaps packed with some boxes with paintings on tops? George III with pink lips... A battle of tall ships... Then some quite fine looking pups With a hunter chasing hares for his sup. There's a castle not new...from the land of Who? A grey goat, cows and sheep, and a shepherd boy too. SOLD

Or an odd carved box that cites Burn's tale of the fright Of "indulged" Tam O' Shanter as he flew through the night :
Now, who this tale of truth
shall read, SOLD

Maybe a small bucket made of wood wrapped in brass ... That brought peat for the fires in times long ago past. No furnaces then - only flames to give heat Which folks sat before to toast up their feet SOLD

Tiny tables – I know that is it! A little of Russia , of China, and the UK, Might will very well fit in that ramshackle sleigh. They come apart well - pack down very tight For Max the old dog to haul in his flight. SOLD

Now what to fix in these bowls with big sticks? You suppose Jemima's got new pancake mix? I've seen that odd shape somewhere before - Perhaps at the corner Walgreen's Drug Store? What's more... They are most awfully heavy - Not at all like they look! Well, considering that fact, Maybe for Max They might cause a weight-bearing mild heart attack!

Something soft for your head - (but not for your feet) Something squishy perhaps to put in your seat. Some needled in wool, some sewn on sheer silk, With threads of fine silver, the cloth colored as milk. These would be just choice for old Max. He could tow them along without any tax.

Now this one makes sense! - Could make a sleigh in a pinch. An awful lot would fit in those slots That look just a little bit like a fence. But those wheels might bog down in a snow-bound downtown And leave poor Max in a bit of suspense! SOLD

Now the most perfect to do, for sweet Cindy Lou Who (2) : Bring this wondrous cup grand And to her thirst lend a hand, There in this very-merry Christmas Who-Land. For 'twas Cindy-Lou Who (2) Who...knew it was he ("G!") That stuffed up the chimney their fine Christmas tree!! SOLD
