The Delightful Mistletoe

There is a plant we use at Christmas time But I’ll bet you probably know That it grows just around Christmas And that plant is the Mistletoe Its leaves are broad and green Though romance is attached to it I’ll bet you’d be amazed to know It’s nothing but a parasite It grows in clumps and attaches Itself to certain nearby trees Doesn’t seem to hurt anything Just hitches a ride for free Its berries are sticky and white And adds to our Christmas décor When you consider why it’s used What more could we ask for? And the birds, oh how they love Those white and sticky berries They dropp the seeds on landscape More grow like the help of fairies So on this Christmas season I thought you’d like to know The story behind the plant called The delightful Mistletoe!
