Gershon Wolf Poet Limerick

Christmas Tardy

   Here comes the annual Christmas party
   I think I'll show up late -- three hours tardy
     The punch will be gone, how sad
     I'll miss all the fun, too bad
   Some think I'm Scrooge, others call me Marley

Daniel Turner November 29, 2023 at 5:54 AM Why bother at all? Stay home and visit with the ghost of Xmas past. Take care, Marley. Gershon Wolf November 29, 2023 at 7:41 PM I would stay home, but ghosts are afraid of me.

Tom Cunningham November 29, 2023 at 12:06 AM Better late than never lol. Tom Gershon Wolf November 29, 2023 at 7:40 PM Even applies to old 'ScrooMarley,' I guess...
