Mini, musical meowing, eight weeks old, smaller than
Icicles hanging from the porch, she slips into the
Snowbanks, a frock of fluffed-out fur, dashes in, nestles on
Tissue paper, a tiny tiger with stripes of gray, now pouncing on
Lights blinking, there-gone, there-gone, where? her
Eyes a green mirror of...

Though the night was quite dark, Christmas candles were shining;
The firelight flamed by the tree:
From the ceiling was strung strands of green intertwining,
'Twas mistletoe cut from the lea.

In the room was assembled a party so cheerful,
Young couples so dashing and bright;
And they sang many songs,...

You saw me from across the room
beside an open door.
Your smile erased all of my gloom
and touched me to the core.

The mistletoe tied in a bow,
your kiss that caused my cheeks to glow!
The mistletoe, the mistletoe,
sweet start of something soon to grow. . .

Then on...

Silent raindrops trickle
 down her window-pane
on a frosty winter day.
Red-breasted cardinals
tweet in distance
as children ride the sleigh
Smoke ascent from chimney-tops
amid shrubs and evergreens
Leaves leap through the wind
in chase of distant dreams.
Waltzing swans in calm streams
touching beak to beak
Squirrels in their grey nests
playing hide-and seek
Grandma baking...

Merrily, merrily, 
mystify him gently, 
manage him to the door.
Make sure he sees the sprig,
manifest, boldly ask,
majestic  tradition,
mirthfully with a kiss.

I met the woman of my dreams -
The girl I’d love to date -
But feeling shy, I looked away
(I thought she’d like my mate).

She waved a sprig of mistletoe,
I blushed and stood beneath,
My pulse was racing till I saw
She’d just removed her teeth.

A KISS UNDER THE MISTLETOE

A kiss under the mistletoe 
Is always a great delight
You can find a convenient time
To be there when its right

Watching all the pretty girls
To see which one will be
Caught beneath the mistletoe
To share a kiss with me

From teenage years until today
For...

"Underneath the Mistletoe"

Christmas kissed 
its dream 
underneath the Mistletoe

The Dream 
melted a frozen heart
underneath the Mistletoe

Love like a 
burning star
shining bright

Christmas kissed 
its dream
underneath the Mistletoe

Love like a 
burning star
shining bright

He stood for hours 'neath the inviting mistletoe,
But nary a gal took notice of his miserable woe!
He smiled and made goo-goo eyes as they passed by,
But they just tittered leaving him high and dry!

He slyly pointed to the mistletoe with a silly grin,
But this didn't...

When I look into a crystal ball
These are some things that I see	
Hearing loss will be my down fall
And my wife won’t listen to me

Look up dear, its mistletoe
Please to give this gal a kiss?
What’d you say, you miss my toe
And you’d like to reminisce?

Oh...

I never had a kiss, under the mistletoe
Un-kissable I am, no-one wants to know
My dream of a kiss under the glassy white berry
Doesn’t happens when they're sober or even a little merry

Please Santa I would cry, as each New year came in
All I want this...

 EIGHT BEAUTIFUL LINES


Filled with peachy pleasure in parsley pastures  
I eye eagle elegantly elevate in elongated flight 
warriors wonder wisely about rising Sun
whispering wondrous worldly wishes across 
abiding angelic appled air spun 
elves and fairies pirouette in royal ribbons blue
with mystics maypoling as...
