'Twas
the night before Christmas, when all through the hub,
Team
torchwood scurried to go to the pub.
Toshiko, she shut down her
systems and prayed,
And hoped, that the rift, this one night,
would behave.
The weevils were nestled all snug in their
cells,
Adorned with holly and tinsel and great chiming bells.
The
hand in its jar, and I in my cave,
watched as the humans stepped
out of the base.
When out on the Plass there arose such a
clatter,
I sprang up and flew to see what was the matter.
Away
to the lift I soared in a jiffy,
Seeing it descend I felt a bit
iffy!
I knew that the humans all left through the door,
Who
could be standing on the lowering floor?
When, what to my
wondering eyes should appear,
But a great big blue box with a man
standing near!
With a brown pin stripe suit and glasses,
black,
I knew in a moment it's that Doctor of Jack's!
Back
to my cave I flew swiftly to watch
As from his TARDIS did he pull
out a box.
He
was tall and lanky, a time lord I knew
I was dubious still of what
he was here to do.
But a wink of his eye and a big cheesy
grin
Soon made me develop a liking of him!
"Now Jack!
Now, Ianto! Now, Owen and Gwen"
Toshiko! Yes, all of my
torchwood three friends,
This is for you with my thanks and my
praise,
For what you will do for me one of these days!
"A
time in the future, not too far from now,
Will you help me out
greatly, though I can't tell you how.
For you may not be here
but the CCTV's on,
And me telling you now could make our
timeline's wrong!
"But what you do is most noble and
brave,
So in return I bring gifts for you this Christmas
day!"
With that he pulled on a red hat with white trim,
Put
it on his head, on his face was a grin!
As the lift finished
falling and thudded to a halt,
The doctor stepped off the platform
and started to bolt.
He dashed round the hub, scattering gifts;
He
had many to give so he worked very swift!
For
Ianto a coffee filter that needn't ever be changed,
Placed next
to new coffee flavours so neatly arranged.
By Tosh's computers,
software, so new and so fast,
Was given to make the hub much more
advanced!
In the autopsy bay some new tech was
presented
Replacements for the old gear Owen resented!
Gwen's
gift was a futuristic scheduling device,
To help her keep hold of
her regular life!
The doctor
then left jack a gift so great:
A key to the TARDIS so he would
not have to wait!
He then left some trinkets, some gifts by the
tree,
He even left some nice dark chocolates for me!
He
spoke not a word more, but went to his work,
laid out all the
gifts, then turned with a jerk.
He opened the box that read
"police"
Looked out to the hub and with his work seemed
pleased.
From my nest I did see an unbelievable sight
The
box disappeared with a flash of white light!
But I heard him
exclaim, 'ere he vanished from sight,
"Happy Christmas to
all, and to all a good-night!"
That was a really fun poem to write and created out of mostly boredom :S
Still, I hope you enjoyed it ^^ Thank you for reading and Merry Christmas :)
