“Why, for fifty-three years nothing’s changed up ‘till now!”
And printers as well!
And he stuffed them in bags. Then the Grinch, very nimbly,
Stuffed all the bags, one by one, up the chimbley!

Then he swiped all their cables and their Apple TV.
He took the Who-WiFi! He took the Whos’ Wii!
He cleaned out that Who-house as quick as a lick.
Why, that CMO Grinch took their last memory stick!

Then he stuffed all the tech up the chimney with fervor.
“And NOW!” grinned the Grinch, “I will stuff up the server!”
And the Grinch grabbed the server, and he started to shove,
When he heard a small sound like the coo of a dove.
He turned around fast, and he saw a small Who!
Who went by the handle of @Cindy-Lou.

The Grinch had been caught by this micro Who-blogger,
Who’d got out of bed for a cup of cold water.
She stared at the Grinch and said, “UPS man, why,”
“Why are you taking our Macintosh? WHY?”

But, you know, that old Grinch was so smart and so slick,
He thought up a lie, and he thought it up quick!
“Why, my sweet little tweeter,” the CMO lied,
“There’s a light on the hard drive that won’t light on one side.”
“So I’m taking it home to Cupertino, my dear.”
“I’ll fix it up there. Then I’ll bring it back here.”

And his fib fooled the child. Then he patted her head,
And he got her a drink and he sent her to bed.
And when @Cindy-Lou went to bed with her cup,
HE went to the chimney and stuffed the Mac up!

Then the last thing he took was a book from Steve Jobs.
And he ripped it in two with his grinchy-green claws.
He rummaged their closets and emptied their drawers.
And the one speck of tech that he left in the house,
Was a dial-up modem and a Logitech mouse.
Then he did the same thing to the other Who-houses
Leaving dial-up modems and the other Whos’ mouses!

It was quarter past dawn… All the Whos were offline,
When he drove his packed van up a windy incline.
“The end of their YouTube and Facebook,” he reckoned.
“The end of their friending, their tweet-ups, and check-ins.”
Three thousand feet up! Up the side of Mount Crumpit,
He rode with their tech to the tiptop to dump it!

“With the Who-tech all gone it will be like before,
They’ll read all my adverts and visit my store.”
Or so thought the Grinch as drove on with glee,
Then he pulled the van over and looked down to see.

And he heard a strange sound rising up from below.
It started in low. Then it started to grow.
But the sound wasn’t sad! Why, this chatter was merry!
It couldn’t be so! But it WAS merry! VERY!

He saw them all chatting around a big fire
Made from a heap of his four-color flyers.
Every Who down in Whoville, the tall and the small,
bizzibiz, bizzibiz, bizzibiz
