Ginger man with a broken leg (without a leg) and a surprised face. A ginger man with a broken leg (no leg) and a surprised face. Traditional Christmas and Christmas homemade cookies. Selective focus, close-ups. Space for text. gingerbread man cookie stock pictures, royalty-free photos & images

The dough rests In the small fridge Rolled out by the baker She has worked hard now But the job’s not done yet Cutting the shape Then in oven to bake Out pops a plate of men Gingerbread just get a whiff of them Ginger, molasses, golden brown, crisp Who’ll be the first to get a taste of him Hands first or the giant head fingers Center of crispy, brown chest feet, or round belly Look around instead Maybe some icing Some buttons, or eyes, mouth, or clothes Long, stocky pose this leg or that Who’ll eat his nose Filled with ginger Any part goes Yum, yum toes For Brian Written: 10-24-2022

I will just lick the icing off him and let his body be. Not a big fan of this cookie man. But you described him beautifully

Yeah, I understand. I at one point did not like gingerbread as much as I do now but I would not buy it over some other things like Krispy Kreme doughnuts suppose. Your visit is appreciated. Sara
