EVEN MORE TWISTED CAROLS!!!

'TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS
A Twisted Tale By, Is.

*****

'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the Section
Not a single coldop had an ounce of affection.
The ops were all gathered in Comms for debrief
Back from a hard mission, they felt some relief.

The traitors were hung in the White Room with care
As proof that Madeline had done her work there.
And Ops in his office and Michael in black
Had just settled down from the Red Cell attack.

When all of a sudden there arose such a clatter
A team was sent out to see what was the matter.
Away to Abeyance Ops flew right away
To make sure his dear Maddy was doing OK.

The room was all lit with harsh overhead lighting
And Ops had to blink twice to regain his good sight-ing
When what to his wondering eyes did he see
But a giggling Maddy up on Santa's knee.
They both jumped to their feet so lively and quick
Ops knew right away there was mor to this pic (-ture)

More rapid than eagles Ops flew in the room
And he sputtered and shook as he shouted his doom
"Come Michael! Come Birkoff! Now, Walter and Gail!
Belinda, Nikita, come now and don't fail!
To the questioning room just behind the White Wall,
Hurry and see who has happened to call!"

So up to Abeyance the coldops all flew
And Jurgen and Frick and Frack all came too
And then in a twinkling they heard from the chair
Some "oohs" and some "aahs" and a "Touch me right there!"

As the coldops drew back and were turning around
Ops lunged at St. Nicholas with one frightening bound.
Nick bolted and dodged all Ops' weak futile blows
Then with one lightening quick jab he disjointed Ops' nose.
With one wild swing Ops decked St. Nick back
Until Santa thumped him with his gigantic toy pack.

Ops eyes--how they fluttered! His world was all spinning!
His head flopped like a rag doll's as he moaned like a ninny.
His mouth was agape as he staggered some more
And he swayed for a bit before hitting the floor.
The stars that he saw had sharp razor-like teeth
And they danced and encircled his head like a wreath.

St. Nick started chuckling as he patted his belly
That shook as he laughed like a bowl full of jelly.
He kindly accepted one big kiss from his Maddy
With his arms round her waist he was her jolly Mac Daddy!

A blink of their eyes and a twist of their heads
Soon let them both know that they'd put Ops to bed.
They spoke not a word as they got down to work
And ran past the ops with a self-conscious smirk.
As St. Nick led Maddy along by the hand
They both made their way out of Section One Land.

They sprang to Nick's sleigh once the reindeers were rounded
And away they both flew as coldops watched dumb-founded
But Frack heard them exclaim ere they drove out of sight
"Merry Christmas to all, and to all a goodnight!"
