Mark Martin Poet Verse

Scrooge

Season's grumpy greetings
Santa's humbug helpers
Sleigh bell's clanging clappers
Snowman's creepy carrot
Shifty carol crooners
Seldom enjoy eggnog
Sullen new year nonsense


Entry for the "Merry Christmas and happy new year pleiades" contest

Written 4th January 2017 - after the Christmas season

Reason A. Poteet January 6, 2017 at 12:10 PM Excellent topic which explains itself if you know the character and who doesn't know Scrooge. I like the way you did not use the title word as part of your pleiades Mark Martin January 7, 2017 at 10:06 AM Thanks Reason. With Pleides, it's much easier to have a title starting with a common letter. Didn't get very far with my original title "xmasses"! :-)
