Mistletoe Poem by David Wood

Tracy stood by the checkout till
Put up some mistletoe for a thrill,
To steal a kiss from all the boys
Out shopping for their Christmas toys.

Young and old with five days stubble
Asked for a kiss if it wasn't too much trouble.
There was a time when she wished she had a double,
Time passed slowly as if she was in a bubble.

The supervisor came and with a frown
Asked Tracy to take the mistletoe down.
‘This is a supermarket not a celebrity show,
Kindly remove that mistletoe'.

The moral of this story will show
That there's more to life than mistletoe
For a kiss is a special gift between two,
For lovers, friends and those who are true.

And for special days that come and go,
Like Christmas with its mistletoe,
Where lovers steal a belated kiss
With hearts entwined in loving bliss.

So when you see that mistletoe
Think of what love you are trying to show
For love is unique, kind and true
A very special kind of brew.
