Ebeneezer Scrooge

Ebeneezer Scrooge -
His miserliness was huge.
The Ghost of Christmas Future gave him quite a scare.
He woke up from visions with an eagerness to share.

I don't know about that but I enjoyed all the ones about Ebeneezer. Oh, someone could have made a rhyme like this, Mr..Scrooge, first name Ebeneezer, was a horrible selfish old geezer!

You are right, Andrea. “Scrooge” and “huge” are popular rhymes for this contest. Congratulations. Well done.

How about this: Scrooge, with first name Ebeneezer, was a terrible, stingy, old geezer.

A little Ebeneezer in all mankind, yet hope for redemption in the spirit of Christmas. Perhaps this Charles Dickens' enduring message. Merry Christmas Andrea. -Richard

A good scare can have positive results. I avoid mirrors lately though. Have a very Merry Christmas, Andrea. And a Happy New Year.
