Snowballs Unhinged

SNOWBALLS UNHINGED O sweet sugary snow, Shirley gets old. Her glistening teeth are not very bold. If she’d let loose, They’d scram — vamoose! As temperature drops, Shirley rolls cold. 8/10/2018

"...shirley rolls cold..." is a line that puzzles me, though i've an idea that doesn't really fit

“That’s how she rolls” indicates how one is in personality, emotions, etc... She starts out “sugary sweet” but as the temperature drops (an indication of Winter and also her old age) she just might turn cold enough to tell them what she really thinks. There is a play on many things in this limerick.
