A Kiss, Beneath the Mistletoe!

A Kiss, Beneath the Mistletoe!
In the Wild Wood, Fairies know, where grows Christmas Mistletoe!
And they bless it, with a kiss, as does this little Fairy Miss!
She knows soon, t'will be collected, and berries' number, close inspected.
It's hung, by hopeful lads or lasses, in hopes, admired one, under, passes!
Watcher then steals one sweet kiss; (could lead, to blush, or lead, to bliss)!
But kiss is one, that must be paid, for bad luck comes, if you nay-say.
And, when a kiss has been received, of one white berry, plant's relieved!
Thus, when the berries are all plucked, the magic's gone, you're out of luck.
So, the wiliest will count white berries, to have good amount!
When Fairy, of the russet hair, sees those, who come, to gather, there,
She makes kind wish, that each will know Love's magic, sparked, by Mistletoe!
