The Gingerbread Man
We lay side by side in the summer grass,
I reached for the gingerbread man kit
And lifted out a slightly crumbled biscuit,

Taking the tube, I iced a shaky smile onto its face,
Added big, hopeful chocolate drop eyes
And wrote 'I love you' down its front,

Then I handed...

Santa, Snowman, and the Gingerbread Man
He stood still in the chilling winter breeze, with a carrot
for a nose, two sticks for hands, two buttons for eyes, and six tiny
buttons for a mouth. During the day, children liked playing around him,
skating and dancing as they danced, sung, and screamed; the smell
of...

Swinging his hips in Boogie, Woogie Roll

Gingerbread Man 

A quite handsome sight with a candy cane in hand

Taking a stroll in an evening   cold chill

To Currier and Ives through the white snow 



Swinging his hips in Boogie, Woogie Roll

All deck out...

The dough rests 
In the small fridge 
Rolled out by the baker 
She has worked hard now 
But the job’s not done yet 
Cutting the shape 
Then in oven to bake 
Out pops a plate of men 
Gingerbread just get a whiff of them 
Ginger,...

Like the Gingerbread Man
Had to recover from three days of Kentucky windage
Jerked the protein from an omelette full of old spinach
Rippled titans in my wake, ‘cause they ain’t losin’ 
I’m still losin’, ‘cause my storm’s passed, but I’m still oozin’
My Brother’s thirsty, but I wouldn’t share my water...

The Gingerbread Man
The gingerbread man sleeps in the pan 
Until the spatula comes, and the hand - 
To snap off his crackling, new-born limbs 
No end to human appetites - and whims ... 

He's stuck there, broken, on the baking pan - 
Little doughy, cooked - little...

Gingerbread Man Meets His Match
Gingerbread man didn't think he'd ever meet his match
Til one day it was him, a little boy and girl did catch
Caught up in some strong sticky tape
He saw no real way to escape
He shouted to the children, "Just go ahead and eat me."
"You'll both be...

Gingerbread Man
I miss it
the warm, soft, moist dough,
making frosting clothes, and red hot buttons.
Mimicked "catch me if you can" 
biting off the legs first, now it can't run.
Always saving the head for last to
see it's doom come towards it.
And lastly after it comes milk!...

Premium Member The Tale of the Gingerbread Man
I had heard of a gingerbread house, but a gingerbread mouse?
This story was told to me by a liar, a scoundrel, a louse.
The gingerbread mouse was living in a cracker box – Ritz.
If anyone shook it, he would come out and have many fits.

He was...

Premium Member gingerbread man named Preacher
I walked into biology class and there was a gingerbread man.
Take a seat! He said sternly “whenever you can.”
Some of us were stunned. Where was our teacher?
That is my business, he said, reading our minds. My name is Preacher.

Preacher! What kind of name is that...
