Snowman Comes To Check On Me

I could not go outside my house today For I had the sniffles, and I was upset My snowman was out there ready to play. How much more bad news could I get? My mother said “Here comes your friend.” I thought she meant my neighbor, Mr. Bend. She meant my snowman who came to check on me. He sat by the window and we stared out at his tree. I was worried, he said. You are always out there. You’d better go back out, I told him, because I care. As he sat, water began pooling on the floor. I sent him away with a smile, for him I do adore. He tipped his hat and gave me a snowman’s wink. You’re right, he said, or I will have to go sit in the sink. The next day I was better, and ran outside to play. Unfortunately warm weather had scared him away.
