Notes About The Poem

Hats Off To Santa

When Santa visits the children each year
he ensures he takes all snowmen a gift.                  
They’re so happy and shed an icy tear
as they stand shivering in a snow drift.
 
He ensures he takes all snowmen a gift
knowing how keenly snowmen feel the cold,                 
as they stand shivering in a snow drift
the snowmen love these gifts so bright and bold
 
Knowing how keenly snowmen feel the cold
Mrs Claus makes them a new scarf and hat.                
The snowmen love these gifts so bright and bold
their coal mouths grin just like a Cheshire cat.

Mrs Claus makes them a new scarf and hat 
they’re so happy and shed an icy tear.                 
Their coal mouths grin just like a Cheshire cat
when Santa visits the children each year.

Carolyn Devonshire January 15, 2020 at 1:01 PM This is a delightful pantoum, Jan. You took a hard form and had fun with it. (If the snowmen don't like the cold, Santa could remind them they'd melt in a warmer climate:) And I can just see Mrs. Clause making the hats and scarfs. Best wishes in the contest! Hugs, Carolyn
