Pixie so owns that sarcasm badge

Pigtailed ingenue manning
the table at the exit of
Stop and Shop.
"Would you like to buy some girl scout cookies?"
she piped at me.
"No Thank You" I replied.
To my back she shot
"Thank You for supporting
girl scouts of America
anyway"

Good work day

When my lunch
sandwich is saved till
noon.
Sisyphus

One of the spirits returned,
which ever was the most seductive,
and abandoned him back to
the way Scrooge had been.
This was the worst because
Scrooge now knew what he
was missing.
There were no spirits to redeem him,
just Scrooge to push that boulder
up the mountain
for many years after.
