Great Giftnapper Mouse

One greedy mouse took all the gifts one season.

Now, please don't ask why. No one quite knows the reason.

Perhaps he never quite got what he wanted,

While others that did just looked on and taunted.

Paul always got everything on his festive list,

But this mouse's wishes were just ignored and missed.

"Now, why do I never get what I ask?",

he yelled out loud with a huff and a gasp.

In a rage, he went out and stole someone's gift,

It was easy and fun and boy, were they miffed!

His eyes lit up, he knew just what to do!

"I'll go to Paul's house and steal his gifts too!"

But he didn't stop there, that was just the beginning,

"I must steal every gift!", he considered while grinning.

So off he went, down their chimneys with glee,

Grabbing all the gifts from under each tree.

The children awoke to a tree that was bare,

They cried and they screamed, "Why, this just isn't fair!"

But the hunters were brave and captured this mouse,

And returned all the gifts to each empty house.

So Gnawnia was saved from this dastardly stunt,

T'was good tidings to all and a Great Winter Hunt!
