Saved

I've lost one of my buttons, oh my and my eyes lie too close to my hat which is flat like a french beret. I'm too cute to be eaten by a gingerbread fanatic who will never know how real I feel with only three buttons instead of four and my shoes whats more are green. I mean I must be seen! and can't disappear into your stomach! Maybe, you'll save me instead.

This is a lovely poem with clever imagery. The gingerbread piece is a nice touch. I don't think I have seen gingerbread in our stores here in Portugal. One has to make it himself. Thanks for your lavish praise of my Haiku Loving Days. Your comments are so true. Look at the current global recession. This is a result of greed, lust and exploitation of the giant corporations and major financial institutions. Consumer finance at massive scale has encouraged people to fall in the trap of indebtedness

Yum....love those gingerbread fellows!! I usually have a few headless guys hanging around here at Christmas time, when the grandkids take the first bite, then decide they'd rather have a sugar cookie! Cute poem, Sue!! ~ Carrie
