Marvel's Night Before Christmas

We all know the Night Before Christmas story. I thought I'd put a little geeky spin on it this year.

So without further ado: Marvel Night Before Christmas

'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the dorms,
Not a hero was stirring, not Hawkeye or Thor.
The boots were all set by the chimney with care
In hopes that ol' Spidey-clause would soon be there.

The Avengers were nestled all snug in their beds,
While Hulk dreamed of smashing and the crushing of heads
And Cyclops in his visor, and I in my mask
Finally got a break from our hero-ing task

When up on the viewscreen there arose such a clatter
Quicksilver leapt from his bed to see what was the matter
Away to the roof we went with all speed
Did the city need saving this Christmas eve?

"Twas the glint of metal that made us all stop
It gave shape to the villain who was standing atop
A shared look of dread, our hearts they did quicken
Its a man in a mask, and 8 evil henchmen

He wore a green cloak, we correctly assumed
It could only be the vile Dr. Doom!
He was well guarded, other villains he'd tamed
He bellowed and shouted and called them by name!

"Now Bullseye, now MODOK, now Loki and Venom!
Kill all the heroes and take the town with 'em!"
We beat then quite soundly, their attack we did stall
Cried out Dr. Doom, "Run away all!"

The kicks and the punches, how they did fly
Then Doom and the others took to the sky
Down through the windows they all did crash
With a big bag of bombs and a nice weapons cache

Then in a flash we saw with dismay
They had found our tree and were getting away!
We took to the living room, looking around
Doom dropped from the ceiling with nary a sound

He was covered in armor from his face to his foot
With a evil steel mask and frozen mean look
He had a few presents all nestled in his hands
Then Wolverine leapt forward said, "Hey bub, let's dance!"

Doom's eyes how they smoldered with a look that was scary
Then out popped Green Goblin who tossed a grenade that he carried
His evil little mouth was drawn up in a sneer
But it dropped once again when Colossus drew near

Goblin got hit in the face, it loosened his teeth
And a bruise circled his eye like a blue Christmas wreath
Deadpool then laughed, his breath kinda smelly
He'd just finished a snack of Alpo with jelly

They were beaten and bruised and thoroughly thrashed
Too bad our poor dorm rooms were totally trashed...
They picked themselves up and ran for the door
We knew they would go and bother us no more

Doom raised his hand and issued command
They turned tail to escape into the night they all ran
We picked up our tree which was sorely mistreated
But we won the day, with Doom soundly defeated!

They jumped in a chopper made tracks with great speed
"We just saved Christmas" I cried out with glee
Doom raised his fist into the night sky
"Enjoy your short Christmas, for New Year's you DIE!"

Hope you enjoyed it, and to anyone reading, may your Christmas be Marvelous and full of heroic deeds. Be kind to your relatives, lest they turn to crime!

Until later! EXCELSIOR!
