Galloping Gingerbread Cookie
Fresh baked cookies of gingerbread;
a joyful scent wafts through the house.
Christmas Cheer will spread this year
as custard and cookies abound.
Mom takes out a second batch,
but something is amiss,
her first batch of Gingerbread men,
is missing one of its pals!
I must’ve miscounted she surmised and
quickly removed batch number three.
But once again, the first batch was thin;
missing a second cookie.
Miscounted twice, she thought not,
as she pulled out batch number four.
A glimpse from the side of her eagle-eye,
caught one galloping away from the tin!
She’d heard it said that Christmas Cheer
was a magical thing; indeed!
She pulled out red ribbon and tied them
together, now they no longer flee.
