Frosty the Snowperson

(I'll call him Frosty the Snowperson to be politically correct;

So as to placate sensitive souls, I must be quite circumspect!)

Now that that matter is settled, his ice skating caper I'll relate,

With all the circumstances that led up to poor Frosty's fate!

'Twas on a midnight clear when nary a soul was in sight,

That he spied a pond glistening 'neath the mellow moonlight.

He ventured on the surface not realizing he was on thin ice.

With a muted tinkle the ice gave way and he sank in a trice!

Later was found a pair of ice skates and on the bank a carrot,

The remains of Frosty's schnoz being chomped on by a ferret!

I got a very good chuckle out this one. Your sense of humor always delights me. Top of the list winning work in this one. You always have good flow, rhythm and rhyme in your couplets. The first two lines definitely say the way it must be today. Thanks for participating in my contest. Sara
