Snowmen…

They have changed since I was young,

Those snowmen we used to build,

With tummies so filled with snow,

An old hat to keep his head warm,

An old scarf around his neck…

A carrot for a nose,

Buttons for the eyes,

And a smiling face of same,

Never when young did we think it was lame…

Nowadays though they make them different,

This is not to say I don’t think they are funny,

Just hope like way back when the weather doesn’t get sunny,

For if the above pictured phalanx did start to melt,

We would see just how small it could get, yes how svelte,

And in the cold you know it would shrink beyond recognition…
