How Spike saved Christmas: Chapter 4
by Timan
with the lake now accomplished our hero angrily paced,
To the challenge, upcoming, for that must be faced.

the amphibian guardian of this part of the land,
Who questions must be answered, upfront you must stand.

in time, to the frog, our dear spike did arrived,
Though is purpose, to him, he felt it contrived.

The frog stood proudly upon its lily pad,
He puffed up his throat ready to challenge our lad.

“So another has come to me . . . “


“Sorry Kermit, No time. Gotta go to the castle and save a sleigh so I can get the hell out of this soddin’ Christmas special.”


“What? . . . Hey! Come back here! you can’t do that!”

Thus the challenge was won at alarming speed,
Guessing this frog character I really didn’t need.

Now on to the castle for the very last test,
For the mighty grump Spike had to best.

our hero venture to the walls made of soil and bone,
Outside, Santa’s sleigh did stand all alone.

“Hooray! Hooray!” the elves cheer loud and fair,
They were silenced quite promptly by spikes fiery stare.


“Now this makes no bleeding sense. This gimp, or what ever the hell he’s called, goes to the effort of taking the fat-mans sleigh then just leaves it unguarded for anybody to take! Who the hell runs this place?”


“Who dares disturb my restful slump?” bellowed the menacing voice of the Mighty Grump

our hero did turn to meet a horrible sight,
As the great Mighty Grump rose to he full, eight feet, height.

in one hand he held the trunk of a tree.
Which he bounced in the other quite menacingly.

His skin was bright orange and covered in blight,
Spikes two elven companions did run in fright.

but our hero stood strong against his towering foe,
He knew this weird creature he would make suffer much woe.


“Okay ugly. Give me that sled and I won’t have to hurt you.”


“You dare change me,” said the Great Grump with a beat, “It will take more then one man to achieve my defeat!”

The grump barreled forward with a scream and a shout,
Spike smiled at the him and his face did vamp out.

the grump skidded to a halt at the turn of events,
This man was a vampire, his comments he laments.

our hero rolled his eyes at the pathetic sight,
He balled up his hand in readiness for the fight.


“My god you’re pathetic, you’re really quite sad. If you think you can match up to the big bad! . . . Oh bloody hell now you got me doin’ it!”
