The Snowman Contest

The snowman Jason built was of extraordinary size From the tip of his black top hat to his huge bulbous thighs Jason’s greatest challenge was finding something for the eyes But no buttons were big enough; he had to improvise Mom watched as he scurried through the house, searching for supplies From the freezer Jason tossed out frozen peas and French fries Mom thought her son’s efforts were cute, so she did not chastise She went to the bedroom and returned to find a surprise Jason had taken not one, but both, of her fresh-baked pies She ran to the window, the situation to apprise Mom saw wee Jason on a ladder built for a high rise “It’s mine,” she heard him say, “I’ll be taking the biggest prize!” To spoil her son’s moment, Jason’s Mom thought would be unwise She laughed when she saw her son place pies for the snowman’s eyes His snowman was worthy of first place, judges did apprise But they had no dessert till sun caused the snowman’s demise 10/19/14 Plentitude of Pies Contest entry
