Humbug Repellent



An ungenerous, chintzy old geezer
Of pennies, a pincher and squeezer
So stingy and cruel
He's a skinflint at yule
No spendthrift is Grinch Ebenezer.

Surly Hack




This old fart's the original Scrooge
He's a hard-headed, stingy, rich stooge
He plays host in the night
To three ghosts full of fright
And his heart, once a midget, grows huge.

David Cairns and Surly Hack



Scrooge: Alistair Sim makes a memorable Ebenezer Scrooge in Brian Desmond Hurst's delightful 1951 filming of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol".  Merry Christmas from all of us at LimerWrecks!
