Mistletoe

Twas Christmas day
and we all sat down to eat
Grandma began saying grace
when out fell her teeth

The kids started laughing
and the dogs let out a howl
as Grandma fished her teeth
 out of the  bowl

The food was tasting fine
and the liquor began to flow
Aunt   Lucy had too much wine
And kissed cousin Judy's husband
Under the mistletoe
So the two began fighting outside in the snow

In the middle of the dinner
Uncle Bob let one go
That one was a winner
It stopped the whole show!
