Why, this sound sounded merry!<br/>It couldn't be so! But it WAS merry! VERY!<br/>She stared down at the Delvers! The Grinch popped her eyes!<br/>Then she shook! What she saw was a shocking surprise!<br/>Every Ho down in Hoville, the tall and the small,<br/>Was singing! Without any armor at all!<br/>She HADN'T stopped Christmas from coming! IT CAME!<br/><br/>Then the dragon came.  And then the dragon came again. IT CAME! Somehow or other, it came just the same.
