The Snowman With a Political Agenda

I love bright outside Christmas sights, especially colorful lights on evergreen trees that sway in the breeze and snowmen on clear, wintry nights. I just witnessed something quite strange, a snowman so wrongly arranged. He stood on his head. I guffawed and said, “Your butt’s in the air. Quite a change!” Then to my surprise, Snowman spoke: "You think my existence a joke? I’m planning to run for office—such fun!” I thought I was having a stroke. He boasted, “I’ve got a good chance of doing that victory dance. My stance draws a crowd; I’m bold, loud, and proud. I’m getting much more than a glance! My butt you see up in the air, in plain view and totally bare, is where my thoughts form, though that’s not the norm. My head’s not why folks stop and stare!” This weird snowman should make the news, but I heard no journalists’ views on what I’d just seen, but what I did glean was proof that some folks have the blues. They’re saying some leaders don’t lead consistently. So many plead for those who won’t show their butts, those who know each vow must be sealed with a deed.
