Gingerbread Train

Family Night.
What to do?
Christmas time.
Try something new?

How about
We make a train?
Gingerbread!
But nothing plain!

Seven P.M.
Hop in the van-dy
Off we go
To choose the candy!

Mom stays home
Mixes the dough
In the oven
The pieces go.

An hour later
Everyone's back
Bedtime already?
Candy's in sack!



Anticipation...
Too long a wait.
Mom's so tired.
It's getting late.


Ahh, too bad.
It has to dry.
Tomorrow's the day
For the candy apply.

Next afternoon
Waited ALL DAY.
It's finally time...
Create away!

Finished product!
Tradition new!
Don't care if Mom
Has gone cuck-oo!
