The Gingerbread Man
We lay side by side in the summer grass,
I reached for the gingerbread man kit
And lifted out a slightly crumbled biscuit,
Taking the tube, I iced a shaky smile onto its face,
Added big, hopeful chocolate drop eyes
And wrote 'I love you' down its front,
Then I handed it to her and said,
"This is me, take care of her,"
And she grinned and bit off its head.
