I walk into a secluded safari like candy shop
Over on my left is a dirty mangy mop
Must have been a bad spill at approximately three o’ clock
But wanting candy is something you can’t stop
Can I help you? Says a tall skinny girl with a massive tan
Yes, can you tell me where I can find some gingerbread man?
Aisle 4, right by the candy painted doors, that’s where you’ll find them
Picked up 6 gingerbread mans and along the way up to the counter I was eating them as fast as I can
And realize I was in front of this highly decorated stand
“Please pay before you eat
Before we sweep you off your feet
You like tasty sweets
Then we’ll give you a special treat”
I was wondering what that meant
Only to come and find out how much money I spent
At the restaurant and bought a hiking tent
I was broke and couldn’t explain what I’ve done
And thinking about it was no fun
Before you knew it I was on the run
From some chocolate mint flavored gingerbread man dipped in peaches and cream
Then suddenly *POOF*…phew, it was only a dream

Ok, I am glad it was just a dream. But, I was really getting into how real it seemed. Thank you.
