The Snowman

anonymous

Once there was a snowman
Stood outside the door
Thought he'd like to come inside
And run around the floor;

Thought he'd like to warm himself
By the firelight red;
Thought he'd like to climb up
On that big white bed.
So he called the North Wind,
"Help me now I pray.
I'm completely frozen,
Standing here all day."
So the North Wind came along
And blew him in the door,
And now there's nothing left of him
But a puddle on the floor!

My Snowman has a Noble Head

Jack Prelutsky

My snowman has a noble head,
he's broader than he's tall,
his ears are tin, his eyes are coal,
he has no neck at all.

Beneath his ragged hat he wears
a wig of tangled wool,
his barrel chest is buttoned up,
his belly's rather full.

My snowman has a handsome face
complete with carrot nose,
his arms are long, his legs are short,
he hasn't any toes.

He wields a broom, he puffs a pipe,
his smile is wide and bright,
"He looks like me!" my father says,
you know . . . he may be right!

Snowman

Snowflakes falling
Thick and fast,
Build a snowman
Make him last . . .

Snowflakes falling,
Swirling, slow,
My snowman melted -
Where'd he go?

Peter, the Snowman

Winifred C. Marshall

It would not seem like winter,
Without a snowman tall;
I've worked on one all morning,
With Ted and little Paul.
This is a jolly snowman,
With such a friendly smile,
We'll ask you out to meet him,
In just a little while.

His hat belongs to Daddy,
His button eyes are blue,
His bright red scarf and mittens
Were knit by Cousin Sue.
We're going to call him Peter,
We'd like to have him stay,
But sometime when we're all at school,
He's sure to slip away.

Snow Sentry

Kate Monroe

See the snowman
all in white -
stnading still
and silent-like
as soft snow
settles light
on this cool
long frosty night.

Crystal flakes spin
round and fall,
covering him
beyond recall.

Still he'll stand
sentry tall,
keeping night-watch
over all.

Snow Woman

Nancy Dingman Watson

Snow woman, snow woman,
What do you know?
You sit so still
And silent in the snow.

Snow woman, snow woman,
Do you like your hat?
You sit so quiet
And comfortable and fat.

Snow woman, snow woman,
Do you like your clothes?
Your apron and your mittens
And your big carrot nose?

Snow woman, snow woman,
Sitting in the night
Does the dark scare you
Or the cold moonlight?

Snow woman, snow woman,
Here comes the sun
Are you afraid of melting
And being all done?

My Snowman Friend

I call him Mr. Frosty-Face!
He brings us so much fun,
With black coal eyes, and a carrot nose,
With a smile for everyone!

If we play Ring-a-Roses,
Then all our friends join in!
But, when the game is "Statues",
He always knows he'll win!

When I talk, I know he'll listen
To every word I say.
I can shout, or knock his hat off,
And he'll never run away!

But, when the weather's warmer,
Then Frosty-Face must go -
Until the next time that he comes
With winter's ice and snow.
