Carpmas Story For Jackie

Authors Note: Back in the late 1970s I was the Rowling/Larrson/Steele/Koontz of the elementary school playground (or at least as far as my friend Jacqueline was concerned) churning out best-non-selling “books” on a weekly basis. The misadventures of my anthropomorphised eggs – Eggy Peggy and Egg Head are legendary (in Jacqueline’s mind).

Jack has been begging for another story for years.

Just for you Jack – Merry Carpmas!
