The Mistletoe

This story is from long ago,
It’s about two people under the mistletoe
It was a cold winter night with snow on the ground
The lights from the Christmas tree were draped all around
With popcorn and berries dressing the tree,
with toy’s all around a beautiful Christmas tree
The Children in their beds happy with glee
Snug under their blankets watching TV
When all of a sudden we heard a great sound
And as we ran all around only to see
It was Mickey the Mouse, on the children's colored TV
As we walked out the door we looked above
And there we saw a mistletoe
With a note placed upon, that read,
We did this for you, this present we give to you
We heard a small voice whispering so low
I wonder if they will kiss,

Under The Mistletoe.

I see that you have really improved a lot, Bobby. You are 'woke' now, and would never ever use a racist term like 'colored TV,' Heaven Forbid. I know deep in my heart that you would use 'BLM TV.' ~ Never more serious in my life. (Well, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...) ~ gw
