Twas...

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through City
Not a creature was stirring, not even Shoulder Kitty.
The stockings were hung by the Teleporters with care,
In hopes that St. Cuppa soon would be there.

The lowbies were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of Hammi-O’s danced in their heads.
And Healer in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap,
Were logging out our mains for a long winter’s nap.

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the forge to see what was the matter.
Away to the base portal I flew like the Flash(tm),
Tore open the shutters and readied my blasts.

The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below.
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature Cuppacopter, and eight tiny Moditeers.

With a little caffeinated driver, so lively and so tact,
I knew in a moment it must be St Cuppa, fresh from a Modsmack.
More rapid than eagles her Mod team they came,
And she whistled, and shouted, and called them by name!

"Now Awry! now, Valdermic! now, Tsirin and Aura!
On, Castle! On, Arctic Sun! on, on Vyvane and Alexa!
To the top of Atlas’ Globe! to the top of the Warwall!
Now Jump away! Fly away! Port away all!"

As villains that before the Stormy’s hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky.
So up to the base-top the Mod Team they flew,
With the Cuppacopter full of Salvage, and CuppaJo too.

And then, in a twinkling, I saw, quiet like a ghost
The Modding and Editing of each little post.
As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
Through the base portal Cuppa came with a bound.

She was dressed all in fur, and smelled slightly of toffee,
And her clothes were all stained with spills from hot coffee.
A bundle of Salvage she had flung on her back,
And she looked like a Freakshow, or maybe a packrat.

Her eyes-how they twinkled! her dimples how merry!
Her cheeks were like roses, her nose like a cherry!
Her droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the flame proof suit was as white as the snow.

The stump of a candy cane she held tight in her teeth,
And Hero 1’s sword on her side in it’s sheath.
She had a sweet face and a little shoulder panda,
That shook when she laughed, like cold guy in Can'da!

She was cheerful and wise, a right jolly old elf,
And I laughed when I saw her, in spite of myself!
A wink of her eye and a twist of her mug,
Soon gave me to know she’d recently busted a thug.

She spoke not a word, but went straight to her work,
And filled all the stockings, and Modsmacked a jerk.
And laying hers finger aside of her nose,
And giving a nod, out the base portal she rose!

She sprang to her Cuppacopter, to her team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the DE hurled thistle.
But I heard her exclaim, ‘ere he drove out of sight,
"Happy Christmas to all, and to all stop posting quote pyramids. I mean it!!"
