‘A Christmas Carol’ - Charles Dickens O
nce upon a Christmas Eve When all other workers had taken leave My one time business partner broods, The miserly, hateful Ebenezer Scrooge
The Ghost showed Scrooge the weak and poor And cries behind the Workhouse door Those labouring for a tiny fee Whose only hope was charity
No thought of charity, love nor cheer Money is all that Scrooge holds dear Chasing carol singers from the door Mocking the well wishers, cursing the poor
Bob Cratchit, the Clerk, in his house so dim Made merry with his child, poor Tiny Tim For while other’s cursed the wretched beast Bob raised a toast; “Mr Scrooge, the founder of the feast”
His nephew, Fred, with invitation Pleads Scrooge to join him on this festive occasion Refusing the kindness with a shrug, And turning homeward, like a slug Locks his door from every mug “Bah!” said Scrooge. “Humbug!” Now seven years my ghost has cried And dragged the chains of both our pride And as the hourly clock did chime I appeared to Scrooge, my partner in crime “Make amends for a misused life, Or follow me to eternal strife Three ghosts to you will appear this night Three ghosts to show your heart of spite” Scrooge wondered whether he’d been dreaming When on his neck came a tingling feeling The spectre’s sight then sent him reeling The Ghost of Christmas Past Scrooge was shown his childhood ways His lonely self as others played And as the journey took its course His heart began to feel remorse Scrooge closed his eyes and prayed until The second ghoul his room did fill “Spirit, conduct me where you will” The Ghost of Christmas Present
“Oh what a fool I’ve been! For all my greed I cannot speak of one good deed” Scrooge bowed his head in shame to weep Then shrieked at how the darkness now did creep The final spirit there appeared The ghost that Scrooge had always feared The silent reaper, in shadows leered The Ghost of Christmas Future The Spirit showed Scrooge how things would be If he continued his life so uncharitably The fate of the sick, the curse of the poor And Tiny Tim…would be no more And last they came to an un-kept grave That bore his name and his soul enslaved “I will honour Christmas!” Scrooge pleaded in fear “And I promise to keep it all the year” With that, Scrooge awoke, it was Christmas Day “I’ve not a moment to lose, I must change my way!” He gave his wealth to the poor, and last, but not least The Cratchits got their Christmas feast And Scrooge was better than his word A kinder man you would not have heard And so, as Tiny Tim observed, “God Bless us, Every One!” Poem by David Jacklin
