Ironhide's Christmas Thoughts
I entered this on mayhemaleena's aka ShiningGalaxy contest in deviantart in the IronhideFansUnite group. So enjoy!
I know it's late and all but Merry Christmas everyone!
Disclaimer: I don't own Transformers if I did I would have tried to find a way to make Sam a Cybertronian by now.
'Tis not the first time
nor this time be the last
as the current year wanes
the humans go as what he sees insane.
As is every year
William tries so hard for in fear
of his spit-fire bondmate and
so that little Annabelle true Christmas taste.
'Tis is the ways of humans
as Ironhide reflects
that each Christmas that pass
is a little crazier than the last.
Ironhide pities his crew
that this year more trouble brew
as Sarah's made Diego Garcia's rules askew
"Let's celebrate Christmas" she says "you Autobots should too."
Everyone brings their family
all greeting the other warmly
his crew watches silently
not knowing what to do.
Except the young Bumblebee
he's as happy can be
as far as he can see
that he'd spend this Christmas with all of his family.
Ironhide pities Optimus and himself
why is it that
just because they're the biggest
that they'd haul all this?
Slaving and toiling away
but everyone seemed happy anyway
not that the Autobots had a say
not even Ratchet could get his way.
In the end
Christmas was what it was
all that toiling matters not
the magic of it, his crew finally got.
Ironhide loves Christmas
as he remembers his first so well
spark-warming sights
of love, devotion, passion and cheer.
Too long since Cybertron
lost all of those
in those vorns of war
peppered in despair, strife and gloom.
It was no wonder
that Bumblebee should talk
so amicably these last few years
that they'd stayed in this small planet.
About Christmas and its joys
he'd chat on hours
but whenever he was asked
all they received was a shrug.
Ironhide could never explain Christmas
to them or any other, human or not
though he'd agree with them
magic was Christmas that they should cheer.
