SUB-MISTLETOE by ANONYMOUS

First Line: WE TWO STOOD NEAR
Last Line: "AND NOW, BY JOVE, I'VE DONE IT!"
Subject(s): CHRISTMAS;MISTLETOE; "NATIVITY, THE;"

WE two stood near
The chandelier,
With mistletoe upon it.
A lovely girl,
My head awhirl,
Her wrap -- I'll help her don it.

A button caught;
I surely ought
To help, when she'd begun it.
A pause, a hush,
A kiss, a blush,
And now, by Jove, I've done it!
