Mistletoe and Secrets
I remember when I was small
The mistletoe hung in the hall,
I didnβt know what it was for,
But I recall clearly what I saw.
The family, gathered In fancy dress
Would all kiss each other, and to my distress,
Would give a secretive, furtive look,
when Santa gave me a colouring book,
and to this day, I remember still,
thinking he looked like Uncle Phil.

I still enjoy colouring in today. I haven’t grown up really, and I still don’t linger under mistletoe π
