A/N: I know this is a bit early, but the idea has been stuck in my head for a while.
All four turtles in the sewers liked Christmas a lot.
But the Shredder, who lived just above the sewers, did not.
Shredder hated Christmas, the whole Christmas season.
Please don't ask why, not even Hun knows the reason.
Maybe it's because he just came from Japan.
Or maybe he's getting his butt kicked, along with the Foot Clan.
Could be because he's plain evil you know
Never once made a snowman or played in the snow.
But we think the most obvious reason of all
Is that Shredder's brain is two sizes too small.
But whatever reason, his brain or his evil plans that have curdled,
He stood in his headquarters, hating the turtles.
Staring down from his loft, with a sour, evil look on his face
He looked down at the sewers, the whole stinky place.
For he knew every turtle would be busy now.
Mike would be eating as much as Splinter would allow
Leo and Raph would be hanging Christmas décor
While Donnie worked on better alarms for their door.
"And they're cleaning their weapons," he growled with a sneer.
"Tomorrow is Christmas. It's practically here!"
Then he growled with his metal fingers nervously drumming.
"I must find some way to stop Christmas from coming!
For tomorrow I know. Those four guys will be up nice and early
To give each other presents, I know they will surely.
Then they'll do the part that I hate most, not the least,
They'll eat and they'll eat, on a great pizza feast!
They'll be all full and ready to go now
I must stop Christmas from coming! But how?"
Shredder thought this over, sipping a nice cup of tea
"I know!" he said. "I'll pretend to be Santa- they won't know it's me!"
He cackled to himself as only evil people can
"I'll ruin their Christmas, it's a perfect plan!"
With one last giggle to himself
Shredder went to make a costume, and a last minute elf.
So dress up as Santa Shredder did indeed
With some help from Stockman, which he really did need
He pulled a red Santa suit over his armor
Which looked rather silly, with no sense of color
Shredder, being the egotistical guy that he is
Looked in the mirror and shined that armor of his
Shredder turned to Hun who was wearing a costume too small
And said, "Come on, we'll ruin their Christmas after all."
So with a cackle and a grin,
Shredder left to do the turtles in.
He slid open the manhole cover with care
And slipping in quietly to sneak in the Lair.
Having successfully snuck into the place
Shredder stupidly took off his mask, to scratch at his face.
Suddenly Shredder heard a sound like something rustling through a tree
"I'd better be careful, or that'll be the end of me!"
Seeing one of the turtles come out of his room
Shredder quickly hid behind their tree with a zoom!
It was Mikey, Shredder saw from his place
The one who had a silliness problem, and probably a mental case.
Being a ninja of really good training,
Mikey turned and found Shredder hiding in a hole used for draining.
"Hey dudes!" he called out with glee
"There's an evil dude here who wants his butt kicked by me!"
All of a sudden three other turtles made themselves known.
"Are you still alive?" Raphael groaned.
"That Santa costume is totally cheesy," Donnie put in
Leo agreed, "It looks like you got it out of a trash bin!"
The brothers laughed to themselves and drew their new toys (see Author's Note.)
Leaving Shredder running, once again beaten by the boys.
Hun stood at the top of the sewer, drinking a beer.
"How'd it go boss?" seeing his face, he hurriedly added, "Maybe next year."
A/N: When I refer to their "new toys," I mean new weapons. Anyway, I really suck at poetry, but I hope you liked it.
