"The Melting Snowman"


He was a merry ole' soul,
"Coolpop" was his name.
He wore a black cowboy hat,
and stood with a cane.

He had blue stone eyes, and
a bright red grin,
He stood big and bold,
Every child was his friend.

He liked it very, very cold,
For that's how he got his name.
The children had fun building
him, but they expected him to
remain the same.

Winter comes but once a year,
He so enjoyed his stay,
Though he knew his time was limited,
He enjoyed being part of the childrens
play.

His biggest fear was of the big orange
sun,
He knew if it shined down on him it
would ruin all his fun.

As the grass pops up from beneath the
snow,
"Coolpop" stares in dismay,
For he knows his time is ending and
shortly he'd be melting away.

He tries so hard to wave goodbye
to all of the new friends he had
made,
But suddenly his arm fell off as
he began to wave.

He knows the children don't see him,
For they're all hard at play,
He slowly melts onto the ground,
There's nothing that can be done.
He has to face his biggest fear,
as he lays looking up at the big
orange sun.
