Missile Toe

Mistletoe hung over the door
Is something one can not ignore
But candy kisses
Console the Mrs.
Since facemasks just ruin the score

Hello Rico ... and to think the cowboys who wore them were more likely outlaws. Today, you outlined these masks biggest disappointment - eating and drinking has become an art also Rico - Lindsay

Too much money invested in mistletoe, so sales shall rise again . . . .

We don't have the type of beautiful mistle toes here. Instead we have something different growing mainly on mango trees and jack fruit trees. Yes, with the face mask on, one cannot relish a kiss . Beautiful limerick.

Mango is great for french-kissers, but jack fruit is best for those who don't know jack!

Ah, so true, Rico. I hate wearing the mask, but I do wear it faithfully in all of the establishments I frequent. I think it is helpful in keeping the inevitable spittle spread when people are talking. I try to social distance, as I can. When you get to be my age, you can't be too careful!

We live among several generations who find social responsiblity an alien concept . . . .
