The Snowman With the Black Cap On

A little too late for Christmas isn’t it? The toys are gone but Santa is back in town Giving out gifts and coating cities with baking soda. The warehouses are overstocked with it Cities and towns are overwhelmed with it And its victims are running away from it. The white world stares innocently at the sleeping crowd And the snowman sitting beside the corner house With pink pointed nose and seven black whiskers Awaits its tired visitors. His black cap with light blue Emblem attached to the center, sits comfortably on his head. Maybe it's a landmark for someone to establish a location or a marker to indicate that someone is there And so the snowman with the black cap on Is attracting visitors from everywhere. ©2015 Christine Phillips
