In the distance I heard Christmas bells As I strolled through the park as snowflakes fell The trees were all covered in white And Christmas lights were shining bright On a park bench I stopped to rest, Little did I know I'd soon have a guest And I was quite surprised to see Frosty the Snowman skating towards me!! Dressed in a scarf and knitted cap of red He smiled as by me he sped The songs about him were no hype But I had to wonder; where was his corncob pipe? - 12-12-18 The Park Bench at Christmas Contest Image#5 Sponsor: Sara Kendrick
