Scrooge Rides Again by Ogden Nash - CHRISTMAS POETRY

Title: Scrooge Rides Again
Author: Odgen Nash
Publisher: The Hart Press (1960)

Whether those “visions of sugarplums” dancing in your head are from that freshly imbibed holiday spirit that pangs of another Christmas around the corner, from venturing to the back of your fridge, where that last gulp of nog has been relegated for nearly a year, or perhaps, simply, if you are one of the true-at-heart, one of the last few remaining who understand the real meaning of Christmas, those fits of spirit are symptoms of your composure, from jotting gift lists (for receiving of course) months in advance. Whatever your reasons for incubating on the wonders of Christmas, Ogden Nash’s “Scrooge Rides Again” will certainly capitalize as he delivers a first-rate poem with a sardonic twist (a drink for next year’s festivities), examining the pitfalls of Christmas, in particular those fostered by our capitalist agendas, in a way that’ll bring you yule-tide cheer, joy, and hopefully some laughter and irreverent smirks all year round. This limited 1960 chapbook was sent out by Ogden Nash as a Christmas card and includes a gorgeous engraving of Fifth Avenue in downtown Manhattan on the cover.

Paperback. 12 pages bound in yellow pictorial wrapper, string-tied and decorated with print of downtown Manhattan / NYC engraving. Contains poem with illustrations. While cover has slight scuffing, the pages are clean and intact. Slight edgewear.
