Dapper Snowman Ed

Dapper Snowman Ed with a top hat and a whistle Could spin and a dance of joy through a thistle. He is so heavenly! The giggly snow-girls said. They loved everything about this dancer, sweet Ed. He had no idea they thought so highly of him. But he never said bad words, and he praised all of them. They fought over him through the January winter. In April he melted away, into a tiny wee splinter. The snow-girls were gone too, but it worked out okay. They whispered into lakes and streams through April and May. Dapper Snowman oozed into the spring water fed ground. They were all back in place in December, dancing happily around.

This sounds like a recipe for an ice-cold candy treat -- 'Melt-a-ways!' What do you say?! ~ I'll take 10% of the melt

They always melt away, looking so sad; that they'll be back makes me glad!
