"25 Days of Gundam Wing "

Chapter 11: Grinch

'Twas the day before Christmas and all through the house,
Preventers were scurrying, even the mouse.
The stockings were torn down from the walls without care.
For the wrath of Lady Une would soon be there.
 
She strode through the halls
Complaining about colorful balls.
Is there a party I hear?
There'd better not be one near!
 
The garlands came down
From the cubicles with a frown.
And the elves and Santa hats
Shoved under the floor mats.
 
Are those sweets I see in the break room?
Someone will soon meet their doom!
For there is no place for a party in here.
Get back to work, get those butts in gear!
But, Lady Une, it is Christmas!
 
Don't be silly, we are an operative business.
Now, put those ridiculous things away,
For this is not the time to play.
Agent Maxwell asked, Must you be such a Grinch?
And Lady Une answered with a mighty nasty pinch.
I will not stand for such insubordination!
 
But, Lady Une, look at our creation.
She looked and she looked,
And she sputtered and she shook.
For it was a gift, a card to be exact.
Because the Preventers had made a pact,
To do something nice for their leader
And what better way than a homemade Christmas greeter?
Suddenly Une's grinchy grinch heart
 
Gave her a rather painful start
Had they made this just for her?
To make her cold heart stir?
She took the card and held it close,
And just for today, she felt the dose
Of the love her Preventers gave on that day.
She wouldn't have it any other way.
