The Gingerbread Apocalypse


~~~The Gingerbread Apocalypse ~~

Once upon a time, a long time when
 The world was full of gingerbread men
 Before the big bang and dinosaurs
 Before Sundays at IKEA looking at chest of draws
 Before man had even given them names
 And laughed at their stupid games

Before, the word 'before' was a word
 Lived a world quite absurd
 A world of gingerbread men
 And gingerbread woman
 Gingerbread kids played in parks
 Blissfully unaware of Bakewell tarts

Gingerbread people went about their days
 Jobs, relationships, hobbies and holidays
 Then one day, it happened, one night
 One gingerbread man had a single bite
 Of another gingerbread man's hand
 For years scholars have tried to understand?

But one bite led to another
 They ate their loved ones, kids, mother
 Until there was only one huge fat one left
 Then he got hungry and ate his chest
 His arms and legs and head
 Lay motionless on his bed

Time went on and time went by
 And still no one knew the reason why?
 The gingerbread society fell apart
 Until another society and world did start..
 The world we know today….
But next time you see a Gingerbread man…Pray….
They don't bite you…….
