G - Give me some candied spiced treat

I - Iced with frosting, just right

N - Nana makes the best

G - Great with a glass of milk, for sure

E - Each one is uniquely decorated

R- Rolled out into cookies or

B - Baked into bread

R - Reindeer, snowman, and Christmas tree cookie cutter shapes

E - Everyone enjoys the shapes that are made

A - A great surprise for carolers

D - Don’t forget to leave some for Santa!!

*****************************************

Roll and cut them out

Decorate them as you will

Gingerbread men, yum!

*

Grannie makes the best

Gorgeously decorated

Enjoyed and eaten

*

Festive and merry

Spiced right for dipping in milk

Perfect gift ideas

*****************************************

Oh, give me some gingerbread

Either in a loaf or shaped with cookie cutters

There’s no place I wouldn’t tread

A treat that makes me go nutters

*

I’ve not tasted a gingered dessert

That didn’t make me feel the holiday spirit

Eating a few here and there couldn’t hurt

I have even eaten whipped cream on it

*

Warm and toasty, straight from the oven

With a glass of milk, cocoa, or even coffee

Or cool on a plate for a party or coven

It’s way better than toffee

*

So if you want to know the secret to my heart

Then ply me with gingerbread treats

I’ll admire your art

As I eat the sweets

Mother Combs

Come near, sit a spell, and listen to tales of old as I sit and rock by my fire. I'll serve you some cocoa and cookies as I tell you of the time long gone by when your Greats-greats once lived.
