FIRST PLACE

Ebenezer Scrooge

"No warmth could warm him, no wintry weather chill him, no sadness touch him."

                                                                                        Quote by _ Constance  

A cold-hearted man was Ebenezer Scrooge,
he loved his money -   his hatred for the poor was huge !
His ever "Bah! Humbugs!" Made him the worst and cursed,
till he woke running in the street, kicking his heels, heart ready to burst !
 

Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol, 1843, a narrative of visions, terror, and change.
