All alone, a snowman stands, staring out at the world. br What a life! br Short, cold, freezing really, br rigidly waiting for the 'melting' feeling to arrive. br br The children have made him as comfortable as they can. br A nice bright red check scarf, a carrot nose, which he can nibble on, if he gets a bit peckish! br Nice black velvet hat, which he feels is worth having, cos it makes him feel important, and keeps his head warm! br br They usually build him a friend, someone he can chat to, but not this year. br Apart from a robin who sings, way up above his head, in the holly bush, he's alone, br and time hangs heavily upon him, especially when the long nights descend. br br But, he's just a snowman, a no-man, br yet he gives the children such pleasure, which cheers his chilly heart br and makes his 'life' worthwhile.
