Our Smiling Snowman

And so winter came and turned our world white

Much to my children's joy and delight,

They quickly donned coats, their hats and their gloves

Then hurried outside as snow fell from above.


"Lets build a snowman" they shouted with glee

"Dad get a carrot" they called out to me,

So get one I did, and some coals and a hat

And then we made him, all jolly and fat.



Now there we were, our noses aglow

Admiring our work we stood in a row,

Such a fine fellow we all agreed

Our smiling snowman, looked splendid indeed.

Gary, That smile knows., with eyes that twinkled through magic coals. A winter's wonderful childhood memory created. Of a snowman with a carrot for a nose. -Richard
