In Praise of Ebeneezer Scrooge
In Praise of Ebeneezer Scrooge
By Elton Camp
Poor Ebeneezer Scrooge all despise
There was much about him to prize
He worked daily hard and long
Such a man can’t be very wrong
Money he didn’t throw away
But saved it for a rainy day
A person with such belief
Won’t come to be on relief
Saving coal was a solution
To London’s air pollution
Two workers he employed
So poverty they could avoid
He ran a business to buy & sell
Helped the economy to do well
Erect a statue to his acclamation
A better man before “reformation”
