The Gingerbread House

In the forest rests a great gingerbread house With glistening creams and candies sweet, succulent, delicious

People from all over flocked to that house they dove in devouring all they could

The beast that lived there was never cross with them it beckoned them come closer to eat as much as they wanted

Because while they fed on the house the beast fed on them when the people noticed it smiled and said sorry

But it fed on them all the same because they couldn't resist the house and any who refused to partake in it were cast out of the world

I'm not asking you to stop eating it I'm asking you to help me slay the beast So that one day we can have our cakes and not get eaten too
