Best Scrooges Poems


My Real Home
I understand now! I hate that I 
went back to my childhood and 
birthplace!
It was a mistake! They made 
me ,a success, look like a total 
disgrace.
Monroe, I have developed a 
new hate for you I came back 
with a full deck of cards.
Then you...

This city 
has a spire 
in the middle, 
the needle 
of Ireland's despair, 
cost us money 
and lots of our riches, 
this is our city so fair, 

a government 
in ruling 
our ruination, 
as the clock 
in the Liffey 
Stood still, 
their time 
is running...

The Unsung Heroes of Christmas
Well it just breaks my heart 
That you can't be home for 
Christmas...nobody should have
To work on Christmas day but
Not everybody sees it my way
People make excuses and say
It’s not all about the money...yeah
Right you think you're trying to fool
So for those of you that...

Don'T Want To See It Ruined
9/14/17


Televisions getting muted
Signals getting lost or boosted

Meanwhile people hooted
Brooded and continually feuded

Was not one to make my drinks diluted
Made me snooze quick or feel rebooted

Having solutions
Handling problems without saying "Houston"

Already proven
Am only human
Not trying to jeopardize the world, because I don't want to see it...

Premium Member Christmas Twenty-Four Seven
Faces were all aglow this Yuletide with happiness unrestrained!
With ancient carols sung by jubilant choirs we were entertained!
Good folk generously shared their love, fellowship and cheer!
Why can't we celebrate the Christmas Spirit throughout the year?

Malls and avenues were resplendent with glittering decorations.
Gracious folk included less...

Premium Member Christmas With Scrooge
On my street there are many MacMansions
Full of stuff but not many grandsons
No pets with dirty feet
Just black balance sheets
And morality they have abandoned.

These nouveau riche Ole moneyed Scrooges 
Have dinner talk of subterfuges
The poor they abhor
Not a tear on that score
No mangers please, they’ll...

Jarheads In a Pickle

War ain’t a kosher thing
The killing of innocent human beings
was never FDA approved
(From Da Almighty)

Ebenezer fiscals’ hands be closed tighty
	to the citizen poor
But they openly solicit those laborers’ loyalty,
before sending them off to war

Dem silver-loving Scrooges 
were publican greedy Re-schooled
Roman togas playing hooky pocket pool

Coin-operated...

Clean It Up Why Don'T Ya
THE BELLS OF CHRISTMAS
ARE RINGING
PEOPLE THE WORLD OVER
ARE SINGING
WE WHISPER OUR WANTS
TO OUR FREINDS
THEY GO SHOPPING AGAIN
EGGNOG AND PARTIES ARE SWEET
COOKIES AND CAKES FOR TREATS
WE GO CORALING, SINGING 
CHRISTMAS SONGS
SNOUTING WHISKEY,
AND SINGING ALONG
I BOUGHT MISELTOE FOR KISSING
AND A CAMERA FOR REMINISING
BRING YOUR MITTENS
IT'S GONNA BE...

The Forgotten Jesus
All the beauty of decorations point to a folly reason, 
and everywhere our curious and astonished eyes turn this  season:
is about commercial profit and insane shopping sprees...
no, nobody seems aware of the glory of the forgotten Jesus!


If money squandering weren't on anybody's mind,
we would...

Holiday Falsity
holiday falsity
comes just like the
gathering together
during a tragedy,
when everyone 
“forgets” their
differences & bands
in order to defeat
the common 
catastrophe of the
moment---
that which is making
its best attempt to
extinguish us all.

that warm comfort 
whose warmth is 
churned because of
“this time of year”
when americans
round up by the millions
to spend...

Premium Member December
December comes in lustily
On whirling winds of joy,
Bringing from corners of the world,
Dreams of the ultimate toy.
For each of us is a child at heart
During this magical phase,
We each believe in Santa Claus
These anticipatory days.

The coniferous trees are fruiting
With twinkling lights galore
And every house upon...

Premium Member Any Chance She Meant Grinch
We bought her a car. Thanks.
We paid for her gas for a year. All right.
We paid for her car insurance. Okay.
We said we were not decorating for Christmas.

She called us mean.
She called us a pair of Scrooges.
She posted a photo of us on her social...

Hate the Holdiays
I hate the holidays
there I said it
you can crucify me
and you can leave me out of your plans

I'm the scroogiest of scrooges as time goes on
I want my time to myself
I want Christmas vacation to recover from my job morbidity
I don't want to visit chat,...

Turnips
What is hungry that
These turnips
Shall be fattened
With bacon. This
Spoke the troll
he gathered turnips
from Onsager s  garden.
Breadcrumbs shall

With bacon , pumpkin
from Onsager s mystery
Garden He was angry
because Ole Onsager
Put fatback in front
Of the bacon hiding it
from the Scrooges and
Mizzers. But me Jack
