A Whoville Mystery

WHO of the Who’s in Whoville stole the star of the show?

The roast beast was carved, and the Whos gave their thanks,
With laughter and cheer in long jiggity ranks.
Christmas had come, oh the joy, oh the glee,
But wait! What is this? Something’s gone from the tree!

The grand Whoville topper, that glittering star,
Has vanished! (It couldn’t have gotten too far.)
“The Grinch!” cried the Whos. “It must be that sneak!
He’s done this before, why, just last week!”

But hold your Who-horses, don’t point too fast,
For others in Whoville have tricks unsurpassed.
There’s Viccorie Volper with her big fuzzy feet,
who stomps through the snow while she’s looking for treats.

And Perry Popvifer, claws long and thin,
Who pops every balloon with a mischievous grin!
Then Mayor Fuzzwelly, oh twice he will dip…
At parties and puddings, he takes double sips!

And don’t forget Marryanne May,
Who never plays nicely, no… not any day!
So gather ‘round, Whoville, it’s all up to you,
The thief’s on the loose, can you find the clue?

Can you solve the mystery?

How do I play?
