There
once was a young fellow
So friendly and sweet
He'd smile and greet
Everyone he would meet.
One day he decided
He no longer wanted to roam.
So he searched and he searched
For a perfect new home.
Then he noticed a white
Shiny-looking box.
And thought this would keep him
Safe from the fox.
He hopped on the ledge
And wandered around.
Then built the first house
Of this gingerbread town.
Gingerbread snaps
He used for the walls
Rich, creamy frosting
To cover them all.
Molasses he used as
His glue and his nails.
He even created
A candy-cane rail.
He stepped back to admire
His sweet-sugary home
And suddenly began
To feel very alone.
He pondered on how
The supplies had been there.
Then suddenly he felt
A cold chill in the air.
Into his new house
He ran with a fright.
And soon it had started
To warm up quite nice.

Then
all of a sudden
A silver carpet appeared
And on it lay a beautiful
Gingerbread dear.
The bow on her brow
Had lovely pink sprinkles.
And her bright, glittery eyes
How they winked and they twinkled.
They smiled at each other
It was love at first sight
And the gingerbread man
Took a gingerbread wife.
But so quickly the warmth
Turned into great heat
And the gingerbread house
Collapsed in a heap.
They noticed below them
A carpet of red.
If they didn't think fast
They would both soon be dead.
So they pushed and they pushed
As hard as they could
Bang! the door popped open
And there SHE stood.
A little old woman
Her mouth opened wide.
Surprised as could be
At the couple inside.
They sprang from the box
To start a new life
The gingerbread man
And his gingerbread wife.
Till this day they wander
And never stay still
For the fear of being
An old woman's meal. |
Gingerbread
Surprise!
