Over and under,
above and below.
The needle dips fast
as my fingers sew.
A round brown face
with black button eyes.
A broad red smile,
and matching bow tie.
My hands are now sore
and my head has an ache,
but finish I must or his
heart i will break.
A traditional tale
he must depict,
so the gingerbread man,
my four year old picked.
His instructions were clear,
and follow i did,
Careful and steady,
just as he said.
Ready for Friday,
World Book Day at school.
I might be a mummy,
but damn, am i cool!
