It came in boxes, ribbons, and bows

I stood by the flag, hidden from sight.
Here to discern, and see what I might.
And these are my observations, that I did write

It came without warning, without fanfare or light.
It came without bells, or whistles, or anything visible to sight.
It came like a stalker getting ready to strike.

At midnight it came, with hardly a hum, or nearly a shiver.
It was all darkness and night, an invisible sliver.
Then with a shake, and just a bit of a quiver,

It grew and grew till it could grow no more.
Atop the globe in atlas it shivered and quivered until something tore.
Then with a creak, and a bit of a squeak, it opened, like a door.

Then from within, he emerged into the night
He made not a sound, but boy what a sight.
He was all armored in gold, all shiny and bright.
He stepped to the globe, gleaming like a sprite.
He would have been blinding, if it weren’t for the night.

First he looked up, and then he looked down.
Then he looked far, and then he looked around.
I don’t know what he saw in tiny Protector town.

But he started to laugh, a kind of malevolent chuckle.
Robbers, and purse snatchers, vandals did hear.
Obviously they were under his gold plated knuckle.
For they came running, from far and from near.
Then they stooped and they bowed before his gold plated buckle.

He shook, when he chuckled, down to his gold plated toes.
Then he reached into the door, and pulled out boxes, and boxes galore.
They hummed, and they glowed, and they had ribbons and bows.
He passed them out by tens, and by twenties, and still they clamored for more.
“Take them” he said; “Place them on roofs, in alleys and rows”.

“The presents are all filled with wintery delights”.
“Winter Lords! Snow Beasts! Frostlings and Blights”!
They guffled, and they chuckled in their mutual delight.
Then gathered up presents and ran off into the night.
All of Protector was in for a wintery fright.

All through the night they labored, with their Christmassy deceits.
Presents were left in every zone, on roofs, in alleys, and on wide open streets.
The presents all hummed and glowed, all alluring and sweet.
Sitting and waiting for victims to open like treats.

His plan was diabolical, and clever, and really quite frightening.
He and his minions, moved like lightning.
They finished in time, although it was tightening.
He stepped back through his door as the sky began brightening

He left poor Protector all aglow with his Christmassy lights.
I heard him exclaim as he disappeared from sight.
“Merry Christmas Protector, I hope you enjoy my wintery delights”.

With my observations done,
I pull out my scroll,
And moved him up to number one.
I needed to return to the North Pole,
For I have much work to get done.
And I need to get enough coal,
To deliver a truckload for one.

********************


In all seriousness Protector, have a very Merry Christmas, may it be a joyous one.

We "won" him a few years back. And like a bad hangover we haven't been able to get rid of him.
