Gingerbread Time – Children Christmas poem and song

The poem was written by me and my daughters. The art is Lilli’s

The Song

Don’t look with hungry eyes
At my yummy, yummy tummy,
I have sprinkles on my arms
And a gummy on my tummy.

(Yummy. Yummy. Yummy. Yummy.)
Gingerbread is yummy,
(Yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy)
On his tummy there’s a gummy!
(Gummy on his tummy).

But don’t bite, don’t bite, don’t bite,
Don’t bite my arm, though I’m yummy!
Don’t eat my yummy gummy.
Do not eat my body crumby!

(Yummy. Yummy. Yummy. Yummy.)
Gingerbread is yummy,
(Yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy)
On his tummy there’s a gummy!
(Gummy on his tummy).

(Yummy. Yummy. Yummy. Yummy.)
Gingerbread is yummy,
(Yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy)
On his tummy there’s a gummy!
(Gummy on his tummy).

Songwriting: Give me my guitar

Dear reader,

This is a cool song I wrote many years ago.

I have a very old video singing it. I will not show you because it was too awful.

But, I created the lyrics for the song in a better way today.

I am looking for singers or musicians to sing this or any of my other songs. Just ask and I will allow you to.

Lilli is creating a Pandacorn (my newest song) animation right now which is simply adorable.

With love,

Eve

Magnificent Letter G: handwriting practice with poetry.

Dear reader,

Lizzie does not want to learn cursive. I listen.

But she came to me and requested help.with her letter g, lowercase.

She collaborated with me to create this G poem and practiced until we loved her letter g.

The graceful groom
In Ancient Greece
Was in gloom all week:
Ghastly days, lost grace,
His good wife, a ghost,
In the green garden.
Heart goes grey,
Galaxies away,
Gracious goddess:
Gown, crown, greatness.
Green grape dance to the god,
Bring my wife back.
The god’s generous reply,
A glistening sun ray,
And a goose to greet.
In two years time,
Sacrifice a goat,
And your girl will grow
From the goose,
Take care and groom her
Be warned: if you neglect her,
Your guilt a curse will be
To grueling loneliness.

End of story by Lizzie

The groom agrees, he will not neglect the Goose. Two years pass slowly, the groom Has been taking good care of the goose, the Groom brings the goat to the altar, and Prays, Grape god returns, Two years have Passed, Your wish shall be granted, goose Into wife, I command. The groom reunited, He is happy again with his wife. This story Ends with a happy ending.

Lizzie practiced her letter g handwriting by writing the poem on a paper and her creative writing by creating this poem with me as well as writing the ending all by herself.
