The gingerbread maid is not at all fair
As any one can see,
But although she is not beautiful
She’s sweet as she can be.
There isn’t a maid in all the land
Who has lovers so many as she,
Yet she hasn’t a single accomplishment,
She’s just sweet as she can be.
Oh, Gingerbread Maid, come alive, if you can,
And teach a lesson we all should know,
Teach us how to be sweet to all that we meet,
Then we’ll have friends wherever we go.

The great round cooky moons were fine, too. Cooky dough seemed made on
purpose for modeling.
