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

True enough: I look in the mirror and it howls at me.

Why bother at all? Stay home and visit with the ghost of Xmas past. Take care, Marley.

I would stay home, but ghosts are afraid of me.

sounds like a good holiday strategy to me, Gershon. Have a great day, Marley.
