Gingerbread Boy

Tasty gingerbread boy
frosted or plain
cookie so sweet
gee, what a treat!
Gingery gingerbread 
(maybe a little cinnamon too,
can't tell ...)
oh, but its swell
just nibbling on you!

Raisins for a smile
warm and yummy
gingerbread yesterdays
fill up my tummy
with a treasure of memories
all wrapped in a smell ...
gee its swell
just nibbling on you!

Yummy! Now I want one...but I just discovered I'm allergic to wheat so there are no gingerbread cookies in my future. At least I can enjoy your delicious poem! Thank you again so much for your kind words. ~Juliane
