"Why should not wattle do
For mistletoe?"
Asked one — they were but two —
Where wattles grow.
He was her lover, too,
Who urged her so —
"Why should not wattle do
For mistletoe?"
A rose-cheek rosier grew;
Rose-lips breathed low;
"Since it is here, and YOU,
I hardly know
Why wattle should not do."

Why indeed should wattle not do. Mistletoe in Australia is not a Christmas tradition but with so many different types of Wattle from which to choose - why not? (just a pity that Christmas is our summer)
