Someone Stole My Snowman

SOMEONE STOLE MY SNOWMAN

Someone stole my snowman, I only made it yesterday 
A carrot nose and coal for eyes in the traditional snowman way
The thieves were pretty clever; they left his hat and scarf behind
They also left his carrot nose so he’ll be right and hard to find

When I realized this morning, that my snowman wasn’t there
I thought I must investigate, this rather sad affair
But there were no clues that I could see, just a soggy scarf and hat
And a little patch of yellow snow, but I’m sure the dog did that

That smiley, chubby snowman, was built by my own hand
A little bit of snowy art, in a winter wonderland
My hands and feet were freezing, as I made this masterpiece
But my snowman seems to be no more, he is in fact diseased

I have to face reality, my snowman’s gone away
Maybe he was magic, and he’ll return again someday
I stare out at the winter sun, as the snow melts on my lawn
And I sit and wonder to myself, where has my snowman gone

Something of Value lost and Forlorn Loser refuses to weep out his eyes; a reality sometimes.

Made me smile. Your "snowy art" made a lovely but sad poem. This was a striking balance after just reading Banshee. Keep up your surprisingly different themes. Spirit (hugs for the theft)
