Bah Humbug

A Grinch in a hamlet of Whovilles

Stole credit cards, ringing up big bills

     Without checking price tags

     He murmured, “Bah, Scumbags”

For this is how grinches get their thrills!

LOL, so true, my friend. Good to see you posting on Soup. How about a threesome - nooooo, a co-write with Sandra, I mean. LOL. That would be cool. We'll get her Muse whispering in her ear again, eh?

This made me smile and chuckle Carolyn. I hope you are feeling well? This year will be difficult for my husband, and I pray he makes it through the year. He is very ill with COPD and aneurism on his heart. He has always been a big strapping man so this is hitting him hard. Blessings, Connie
