Once Upon a Time--Part 2

Once upon a time

there was a neighbor

of mine

who surprised me by building

a snow man in my drive way

that will be a great  memory

to tell to my children someday,

But I thought what could I do

for him in some way

to surprise him on this

snowy day

let see I could make him some

cut out cookies that look like

a snow man,

and use candy for the eyes

and black licorice  the snow man

smile,

also for the nose a candy kiss

oh I know he will love my 

snow man cookies

I feel I can't miss,

I got started fast so just to

surprise him,

but when I rolled out the dough

wouldn't you know

when I cut the snow men out

they looked all wrong,

Once upon a time
