Lockdown: Soap Balls

Rolled slushy snow balls an old hearty boy. Boy, he played with his gal, a scene so coy; Never ask me if it's me Or that sporty gal is she; In laundry, we blow now soap balls, bolshoi. Bolshoi, in Russian, means ‘big’, ‘large’ Syllable count: 10/10/7/7/10 Dec. 30, 2020 Winter Snow or Ice Limerick Contest Poetry Contest Contest sponsor: Tania Kitchin

I've heard if you blow bubbles and it's cold enough they freeze as they hit the ground. :-) Congratulations on your winning placement.
