IN A SNOWMAN 'S WORLD

By Josie Whitehead

In a Snowman's World

Out in the snow, where it’s bitterly cold,
Our wintry world the snowman beholds:

​

     'In the world that I know, of ice and white snow,
     The harsh winds are cruel. I’m sure you will know.'

​

The children all laugh -  they play and they tease -
While icicles hang down from all of the trees.

​

    'In the world that I know, of ice and white snow,
    Human children have fun, their cold faces aglow.'

​

Inside human homes there are fires that burn bright,
But the snowman stays out in the cold all the night.

​

    'In the world that I know, of ice and white snow,
     The trees have no leaves and flowers never grow.'

​

He never sees summer, the beach or the sea
And he’ll not meet a butterfly, ant or a bee.

​

    'In the world that I know, of ice and white snow,
    The summer’s not kind to a snowman you know.'

​

Do you think he is happy in his world of white snow?
Well I think that tomorrow the snowman will go.
