Thought about writing a fun song or poem for Christmas about a pretty girl being ignored standing under the mistletoe. It slowly evolved, though would probably need to be reworked if I were to sing it.

Mistletoe Who’s she expecting ‘neath the mistletoe? The guys here all are taken. She looks so forsaken And she’s such a pretty gal. Who’s she expecting ‘neath the mistletoe? Seems the party’s running down, still no guy’s come around, To steal kiss from a pretty gal. She was my pal, so very nice. I’ll admit I’ve kissed her twice or thrice, But I hadn’t seen her in a while. Seeing her was like an allegory, Or another Hallmark Christmas story. Every time I looked, she flashed me a smile. Who’s she expecting ‘neath the mistletoe? The poor gal looked dejected, so lonesome and rejected. For pity’s sake, someone kiss the gal! So I joined her beneath the mistletoe. “Took you long enough”, she said, as she pulled down my head, And I stole a kiss from a pretty gal. I have to say that kiss was nice, So again I kissed her twice or thrice. And have been kissing her ever since. So like a Hallmark Christmas story, I went down in a blaze of glory - This ex-bachelor wasn’t too hard to convince.
