Christmas Windows - Building a Snowman

When the snow is deep and wet enough to pack I look out my living room window to watch kids build a snowman Wouldn't you know that old felt hat is gone from the closet and My meerschaum pipe (this will never do) gone from the rack Robert has given his own red scarf While little Sue with not another thing to do has stolen the black lids off our plastic coffee cups Never have I seen those kids work with such love's labor The man is rolled and packed together before I can tire It is just noon and typical Denver The sun is out thermometer way up! So before the kids can sigh the melt I pop out the door and cry, "What a wonderful snowman! This calls for a reward!" Then I ease on him my favorite tie
