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.

I really give you a lot of credit, Jan, for writing in this difficult form. I have Not been able to write one of these. Yours is really cute. I adore snowmen and snow women. I like it that Santa remembers them too. You should do great in the contest. xxoo

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
