Congratulations on your win, Carrie. Yes, that Scrooge was something else. I actually saw "A Christmas Carol" put on by a local church this evening! Great job with your Clerihew!

Great rhyming with the words, Carrie. And love how you captured the essence of not just one character of this magical tale, but both of the main characters. Congratulations.
