Every Who in BY-Whoville liked rivalry hoops quite a lot…
But the Grinch, Who lived just north of BY-Whoville, Did NOT!
The Grinch hated the rivalry! The whole rivalry season!
Now, please don’t ask why. No one knows quite the reason.

It could be, perhaps, that his shoes were too tight.
It could be his head wasn’t screwed on just right.
But I think that the most likely reason people use,
May have been that inside, he had a really short fuse.
