Let Us All Sing Along

Dickens’ tale of grumpy Scrooge,
Is quite well know, his rep so huge,
A stingy fellow with furrowed brows,
His unkind looks look more like scowls,
So why take time to tell his story,
Amidst these days of holiday glory,
Because one line stands out as true,
For everyone, you, me and you,
This season of gifts can be quite cruel,
When one hath not a meal or fuel,
“When want is keenly felt and abundance rejoices”
Is spoke to Scrooge, who’s given choices,
To help out others by sharing his wealth,
Sparking joy, improving health,
At first he says no, no, no, no,
Then on his trek with ghosts he goes,
And in one magic, striking night,
He’s given better, loving sight,
And learns that he has tremendous power,
Once he doth shed his inner dour,
To share, donate, and offer care,
And help his fellows struggling near,
Which is what we are all about,
When from the stage we sing and shout,
And offer laughs and tears to you,
Then with your help such good we do,
All donations to our town's Food Bank,
For which we offer heartfelt thanks,
So come meet Scrooge and Tiny Tim,
Bring everyone, he, she and them,
We cannot wait to see all you,
And so this poet cries “Woohoo!”
