I read in the news the other day,
Believe this if you can.
We should have a gingerbread person,
And not a gingerbread man.

In order to avoid the flack,
Should anyone be offended, 
When...

Strings of tinsel lay all over the floor
with Christmas lights that don’t work anymore
Strands of garland shredding its petals
Boxed up branches with rusty metals

Indoor, outdoor lights all in a big ball
Didn’t anyone untangle them this...

A runaway train a life full of pain
Running avoiding the hurt
Getting away with lies, dancing in the rain

I am my on freak on my runaway train

Running like the...

Jerked the protein from an omelette full of old spinach
Rippled titans in my wake, ‘cause they ain’t losin’ 
I’m still losin’, ‘cause my storm’s passed, but I’m...

Asking me if I would feel comfortable teaching PreK as a substitute
Is like asking a gorilla if he wants a chocolate covered banana.
The answer is yes!

The principal was hesitant
Reflecting how well she...

I am an enthusiastic rainbow chameleon
until I am a cumbersome ox

slithering in wetness, shaking my...

Don't cry, your doing the best you can,

Your son was screaming, 
You were tired, I could see,
Those around you tutting, were as...

Making pies, cakes and bread
He was hot and bothered
And was looking forward
To rest his weary head.
He made some gingerbread men
And put them on a tray
He switched on the oven
And cleared...

‘Twas the season to be merry, and playing around,
shirker Fred was in Vegas; from work he had played hooky.
Asleep in his hotel room, he strangely dreamed about
a man that looked like a galloping gingerbread cookie.

The
star sits on
our
christmas tree
it blinks and winks
fades away. Decorated
for a holiday, our tree stands
in its shiny finery. Little wooden
soldiers with a gingerbread man, jolly
santa dangling with deer in a glen. Golden
bugle blowing angels, heralding the...

A quite handsome sight with a candy cane in hand

Taking a stroll in an evening   cold chill

To Currier and Ives through the white snow

In the small fridge 
Rolled out by the baker

Heartbroken but in love

Run, run, run,
I'm not Cinderella
Not the gingerbread man
Not dressed in yellow
No gumdrop buttons
Already kissed a fellow
My hearts still rotten
Getting hurt all over
Heartbroken but in love
Broken like a glass slipper
Snapped like a gingerbread...

for you to become undone.
I'd love to stand at your door,
knowing...

Then they pop me into the oven
Hoping to...
