a miserly stooge
To him Christmas was just a humbug
Until three ghosts gave him a hug...

Uncle Scrooge had lost his wallet
He went mad and chased a pullet
He fell down the glen
Ended in  cow pen
Mr.Scrooge had to bite the bullet...

Christmas shiss muss.
Holiday. Bolliday.
Lights. Shmights!
Scrooge is here, whispering
In my ear.
Grinch is pushing on
Him, angry.
Welcome to my mood
Pre-coffee....

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

Social critic and novelist Charles Dickens -
The plot of his every book so interestingly thickens!
Not only the creator of Scrooge was he;
He revived the Christmas spirit for you and for me....

I once had a boss called Milton,
Who thought his shop was the Hilton,
He sold ancient clothes,
All full of big holes,
And always put an old kilt on.

John Milton was Scrooge – truly the tightest person I’ve ever known!...

   Here comes the annual Christmas party
   I think I'll show up late -- three hours tardy
     The punch will be gone, how sad
     I'll miss all the fun, too bad
   Some think I'm Scrooge, others call me Marley...

childrens movies are made about neighbors
who do not 'meat' seasonal cultural norms

by being an obedient spending worm
christ'smass devotees are taught to judge

label and isolate the...

There once was a girl from San Angelo

who used a cell phone for friends she did know.

She’d ring a tune, talk till they had to go.

Her bill was huge

Dad became scrooge 

Phone now sits in his locked drawer just so....

There was a guy whose nickname was Santa
That hailed from the great state of Atlanta 
.              Who acted like scrooge
              And a huge, loud stooge
     Now he lived; near beach in a cabana

Spaghetti

The meat, 
the cheese,
the sauce.

The smiles,
the laughs,
the wine.

The music, 
the song, 
the moment... 

The vow of forever!

Then...

You and I, 
and the garlic bread!

The Scrooge Christmas Musical

Hiding in bed is poor Scrooge
His antigravity boots too huge
To hold him down from bad spirits
Only there to teach him new lyrics

Scrooge's Clerk, Bob Cratchit
Earned his paycheck, and hopes to match it
He needs to buy his Christmas dinner
But Scrooge just pinched his shillings thinner!

Miss Scrooge dressed her Christmas tree to the nines
She hoped her "hum bug" hub reads thru the lines
She laced the tree so sweet
To knock him off his feet
She sprayed Chanel number five thru the pines

Huge Deluge of Republicans

Of Republicans had been a huge deluge,
And on President's face he wore rogue;
When shown,
Face like stone;
A scrooge whose followers are a stodge.

Jim Horn

Definitely resembles the Three Stodges,
One of his best friends is black who he
stuck in his crowd....

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

Scrooge encountered the ghost of Jake Marley,

    While slurping his bowl of blah barley.

       From thence, as we know the plot thickens,

         As from past sins Scrooge fled like the 'dickens'!

No carolling minstrels
No sparkles or tinsel.
The Grinch has a lot of good points.

Just, “how bloody awful
To not have some baubles.”
Bah! Scrooge would be proud of this joint.

My carols are wails
During holiday sales
I'll do just fine here without her.

My sparkles are tears
Every damn year
That I tossed out her favorite old Conifer....

With gifts to buy and then to wrap
And cookies needing baking,
The holidays become a trap
Of joy we’re sometimes faking.

We have to follow set routines
To honor our traditions,
But often what that really means
Is life with impositions.

Many love this time of year
And find it fun and merry
But, Scrooge-like as I may appear,
Does it annoy me? Very!

It's Christmas time once again
and if you only knew,
that my Christmas wish
is to spend the time with you.

Making out my Christmas list
placing it under the tree,
wishing for you is all I want
to be a Christmas gift for me.

The lights don't shine as bright
I turn into the Scrooge,
needing you on this silent night
to snuggle in the softest candle light!

Scrooge counted pennies
no waste at his door
Steve however was very
very very poor
brandy sour was all there was
the sweetness all gone
with morning doves
no food for thought
rations the norm
Jane left when eyes were closed
the street her only new chore
a penny for ones thoughts
as history repeats
Napoleon marched
many died
I sip my brandy
asking why?...
