A SNOWMAN

   A SNOWMAN                      W.R.Baldwin

A snowman is really a sight to behold

And of course is created when the weather is cold.

He could be tall, or he could short and fat

But the kids who built him don’t think about that.

Was he built by rolling big balls up in the snow

And putting one on top of the other as high as could go?

Or did you shape him and form him with snow from a pile.

It’s not important but did you give him a smile?

What did he have for teeth, and what was his eyes.

Did he look like a girl or was he one of the guys?

Did he have sticks for arms, and no legs separately?

So he would have to stand there for eternity?

But a snowman won’t linger for very long in the sun.

It is not very long until all his parts start to run.

His head, then his arms, and soon he’s a puddle you see.

But for Dad & Son who built him, he is a good memory.
