A Dr. Seuss knock-off

A very entertaining Dr. Seuss knock-off, I applaud our guest blogger, Mack Earnhardt, of Agile Reasoning. His creative rendition of an inventory service and why everyone needs one came about from a meeting where one of our customers (Willy) was telling the group about his September burglary. You'll even learn the difference between a robbery and a burglary.

How Cindy Lou Foiled the Grinch


Vacation homes let us escape for a bit,
But the Grinch is so jealous, he just has a fit.

So while Willy was working and his back was turned,
The Grinch took some things that he hadn’t earned.

Candles from mantles, and runners from halls,
Food from the freezer, and artwork from walls.

When Willy next came, he received quite a shock.
His stuff was all gone, and his door wasn’t locked!

Help! Help! I’ve been robbed, cried Willy to all.
He called the police, because that’s who you call.

The detective that came was as sharp as they come.
He looked for the crook, but he didn’t find none.

His report was quite clear, and it made Willy gurgle.
“Why you haven’t been robbed! What you’ve been is burgled!”

With that fact established, Willy knew what to do.
“I know what I’ll do. I’ll call Cindy Lou!”

Now you might be thinking, who’s Cindy Lou?
Why it’s Cindy Lou Hartman, silly goose, that’s who!

Cindy Lou came to Willy’s before all this gruff,
And pictured, and noted, and listed his stuff.

She bound it all up in a binder quite clearly,
And made several copies, and cared for them dearly.

Cindy Lou said to Willy, “Willy, just rest your head.”
Replied Willy, “I’d love to, but the jerk took the bed!”

Cindy Lou brought her binders, and lists, and still views,
Out of safe-keeping quite quickly for Willy to use.

Willy’s adjuster was surprised, and exclaimed in amazement,
“These records are so thorough, it doubles the payment!”

On the matter of timing, they weren’t even iffy.
Mr. Willy, we’ll have you a check in a jiffy!”

Remember a Grinch heart is two sizes too small.
He saw Willy’s things and he wanted them all.

But Willy just has a little shopping do to.
Thanks to Cindy Lou, Cindy Lou Hartman, that’s who!
