Best Scrooge Poems

Old Jack hated Halloween night.
The constant ringing of his doorbell
he didn't like. So he turned off his
household lights.
   His wife said, "Why did you go and 
do that, Jack?" he replied "They
won't see the house, and I'll get
some rest!"

Ebenezeer Scrooge
Suspected subterfuge,
And his transformation seems extreme
For what was probably just a nightmarish dream!

(an oldie "light" sonnet)

The Santa that I know is not so nice.
If there's a gift I tell him that I'd like,
he only will complain about the price,
and when December comes, he goes on strike!

For Santa is no sweet and jolly gent.
For instance, when it's time...

When I was in pigtails, years younger than him,
my big brother’s bedroom was filled to the brim
New comic books, from the small corner store
would light up his eyes, from the ceiling to floor
Every nickel or dime, that he earned doing chores
would be spent for the...

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

now lose their spark and turn away
nightime cast's it's widow's hook,
and daytime, take's on, nightimes look.

He loved the thought,...

It's Christmas and my name is Ebenezer Scrooge.
I've been through a transformation that was huge.
When it came to people, I was selfish and mean.
I was so selish that I lost the girl of my dreams.

People always said Merry Christmas but I refused to hear it.

Only there to teach him new lyrics

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...

‘Three ghosts Mr Scrooge? I find that so hard to believe,
That they might simply visit, to give you a reprieve!’
‘And the ghost of Jacob Marley, who’s been dead these past seven years
Transformed into a door knob, merely to add to your fears!’

‘I don’t expect you,...

Ghost of Christmas past is back

The ghost of Christmas past dropped in
You see. he was completely out of wine
He had two stops to make by three
so, he borrowed some of mine

He asked me how i was getting on
since, he came around that night
with Jacob and...
