"You'll both be sorry, just you wait and see." To his surprise the children giggled and let him go Now what to do, he still didn't know He'd always shouted run run run as fast as you can You can't catch me I'm the gingerbread man Now what was he to say? His life changed in a blink that day A soft voice said, "Don't be sad gingerbread man." "Try to race me again, if you think you can." Gingerbread man was up for the challenge on any day He realized he couldn't win at every game he did play Still, trying was fun Whether or not he won
