The Gingerbread Man's Magic Bake

One wintery night in my kitchen,
as the ticking of time grew late,
sweet smelling spices and the Spirit of Christmas
came to life in the glow of a magic bake!

Such love was put into the making of dough,
that each drop-sheet cookie sprang to life!
They were having such fun in the oven's warm glow,
they woke from her sleep my sweet wife.

"What short lives we live, so we dance and we sing!",
said the wisest of cookies to his baker and king.

And as the sun rose with a warm golden light,
two-by-two, they layed flat on the plate.
They sang "Thank you for such a wonderful night!",
and blissfully resigned to their fate.
