Gingerbread Man

I just don't understand it. All of these women, and some men, spend hours making our families and our houses and then they kill us off by eating us alive. Aren't we too good looking to be eaten? Shouldn't we be preserved. As beautiful as we are, why do we have to be eaten?

Of course, I never did understand why we never got any decent clothing. Mainly we were given buttons. What did they thing we were buttoning up? Our skin didn't open; it didn't need to be closed! And the eyes, they give us these whiter than white eyes with no color at all.

Some times, we get a fur-like trimming on the wrist and ankles. It really doesn't serve any purpose, but I guess it makes our creators feel that we are a little less naked. If they didn't want us naked, they should have made some clothes for us. At least the houses they build for us don't get destroyed quite as fast.

I have seen some fabulous houses. I wonder what the going price is for some of them. The problem with most of them is that they are mere shells. The outsides are done up to the max, while the insides are bare. That's not the way to put a house together! The inside of a house is where the heart is; it shouldn't be ignored.

I've even seen a couple of trains and merry-go-rounds. These were absolutely beautiful. They are also entirely edible. I keep waiting for the day when someone says it is too beautiful to eat and really means it.
