The Joy of Gingerbread
Kath works in New York City in
The Carnegie’s sweet dell.
She plays a little music for
A maestro named Maazel.
But, each December moment she
Can steal from bed and bow,
She fiddles with molasses over
Bowls of ginger-dough!
She kneads it with her fingers, and
She throws it on the floor!
She rolls it out on hands and knees
From kitchen sink to door!
She cuts out walls and windows, and
Bakes gables, doors and roofs,
Then sticks them all together with
The glue of reindeer hooves!
This year she’ll craft a Gothic church
With Handel in a sled,
Then fiddle his Messiah to
The Joy of Gingerbread!
