Just giving someone a hug or a little smile can make a big difference, especially around the holidays... A great Christmas character you've chosen to write about, Joseph. Well done! Good luck in the contest!

Good subject! I was considering Scrooge also, but didn't like the rhyming choices. Ebenezer was better, but was the first name. Don't know if they can be reversed in a clerihew. Good luck in the contest!
