GINGER SNAPS. By Ellen Manly. The gingerbread man and his dear littlewife,In their little brown suits so neat,Stood side by side by the baking-pan, Quite out of sorts with the heat.Their smiles were sweet, but their tempers bad,And something happened, extremely sad. … The woman began it, of course. Said she,You re the homeliest man in town!Your head is too large, and your feet too small, And your color is quite too brown ;And if there is anything I despise,T is a pair of little, black, beady eyes!
