Today I was home anxiously awaiting the mail.

I sat on my couch brushing my cat's tail.

Another trip to the mailbox and what should I see,

a flat rate envelope, hereby addressed to me!

It wasn't a bill, nor was it a summon,

twas a comic book set of a quarter dozen!

Look! Here is a gift from a fellow Vader fan

I love sharing adventure with that "man".

I say! Take it from me strange internet stalker,

my Santa sent me a unique illustrated offer.

A once blank cover now filled with zombie artwork so fine,

I will hang it on my wall, framed, as a dear little shrine.

Last and not least, a concept so strange,

it tops my list of ideas happily unchanged.

Archie vs. Predator, a story so bizarre I was instantly gladdened

it's called "The greatest Mash-up that never should have happened"

Thank you, today my gift was better than I imagined.

But seriously Santa, thanks for the totally sweet gifts. I really appreciate the time you took to draw a custom cover for me on the walking dead issue. I will display it in my house. Also, I think if I turn into a zombie, I would look like that one, a bird will totally steal my eyeball.
