Old Marley bore a ghastly view Decked out in chains his money grew He had one friend when time ran out Who shared his greed stained mirrored pout One Christmas Eve he made his way To try and help his friend to sway That friend named Ebenezer Scrooge Paid him no mind, he'd be no stooge Yet after Marley left him cold Three spirits showed, as was foretold Each vision helped to change his way He rose with love on Christmas Day So if you've lived for money too Please look to Scrooge, and change your view Imagine what your time could yield Befriend mankind, a worthwhile field You'll take no money when you die Grow love and please God's watchful eye |

Our little community theater group put this show on for the season, and well done, indeed...the "change" in our hometown Scrooge made everyone giggle, he was so infectuous with his delight in having that "second chance". Merry Christmas, Roger, and you bring this back every year, y'hear? |
