Piparkoogid

Jõuludele kohaselt tegime ka piparkooke ja glasuurisime neid. Mul tuli kokku kolm plaaditäit erinevaid piparkooke, kuid need lambad olid mu enda isiklikud lemmikud. Lambad ja tiigrid on mulle juba sellest ajast meeldinud, kui William Blake'i luuletusi lugesin, kahjuks sellel korral ma tiigrikujulist vormi ei leidnud.

  Little Lamb who made thee
  Dost thou know who made thee
Gave thee life & bid thee feed.
By the stream & o'er the mead.

//
Tyger, Tyger burning bright,
In the forests of the night:
What immortal hand or eye,
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry? 

When the stars threw down their spears
And water'd heaven with their tears:
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the Lamb make thee?
