This is well written in a clear structure which helps your words and message stand out. It is also very funny. It reminds me of Scrooge, not sure if this was intentional part of the poem.

Thank you, Whodunnit, for the kind review. I alluded to Scrooge to compare the inability of Gotchergoat to change even after three spirits haunted him for an evening. Bill
Comment from rjuselius
haha. lol. this is a hilarious piece of poetry dear bill and does remind me of scrooge. i think that is the point. i can't imagine myself being a misanthrophe. i love the company of people of course with a slight caution in the wind. i find those people interesting because you really must have a rotten personality to be something everybody hates.
thank you for sharing!
blessings!

This was a fun and delightful poem to read. I love language that is unique of sounds musical when spoken. You have captured both. Well done.

Comment from Reedblitzerman
Bill this was great before everything for just the title. You have a great ear for the sound of language. Every line flowed so smooth. I guess this should be expected for an English teacher, but clearly you both know how to do and how to teach. This was really fun. I could have done with more of it. Thank you.

Comment from Tomes Johnston
This is yet another interesting poem that the author has crated with this piece of writing. This is an interesting take on the old miser story. This would make a great fable.

Haha - that is one strange name. This was such a fun to read poem, Bill. I can't say that it made much sense to me, but I enjoyed the meter and rhymes. Hugs, Lou

Man's body is natural, not super-natural. It has strength as well as weaknesses. This is very well written with insight to a philosophy of living.

Comment from Unspoken94
You seem to have a penchant for describing
characters of color and story. This one has his
own entitlements that I'm sure we have all
seen a time or two. Your rhyme scheme, Bill, is
excellent and this is one guy I'm glad I don't
have to deal with. You? -Bill

Well, Bill, I just typed up a beautiful response to your poem and sent it off to space somewhere. It was long and complimentary. Your poem touches everyone, for we have been wronged and, most likely, have wronged someone to some degree. The grace of God is sometimes all we have to buffer our feelings or reactions towards others, and to forgive ourselves.
