Humor: Why Scrooge Was Screwed by Mark Tulin/The Bad Influence

Shoutout to The bad Influence for first publishing this humorous essay on Scrooge. Why Scrooge Was Screwed.

"Why couldn't they leave Scrooge alone? So what if he worshipped money? Who doesn't? Let the man enjoy the fruits of his labor. If Bob Cratchit doesn't think he's getting paid enough to support his family and sick child, then find another job. If he believed he worked too many hours, or if the office wasn't warm enough— then get off his ass and find a boss who wasn't a penny pincher and who was benevolent."

Excerpt from Why Scrooge Was Screwed.

I am an author, poet, humorist, and short story writer living in Long Beach, California. I write about various topics, from my early childhood in Philadelphia to my years as a family therapist and finally to my soul-searching in California. These are poetic narratives that may have humorous or serious content or both. Either way, I hope my poetry and stories resonate with you. My books include Magical Yogis, Uncommon Love Stories, Awkward Grace, Junkyard Souls, and Rain on Cabrillo.
