"Dossy Sownan" in our front yard

Frosty the Snowman was a jolly, happy soul,
with a corn cob (stick) pipe
and a button nose (yes, really)
and two eyes made out of coal (Milk Duds).

Making a Frosty the Snowman was Cael's Santa wish.
He wanted enough snow, but we all know that our area usually gets the diss.
There must have been some magic in that SJ baseball cap they got out of Dad's closet,
for two days after they placed it on his head, someone decided to steal it.

Frosty the Snowman
stood proudly for one day,
and Cael was thrilled and a bit chilled
until Frosty started to melt away.

Frosty the Snowman
was told, "Don't nelt, Dossy. Don't nelt!"
Yet the sun bore down upon the lawn
and a short-lived snowman we were dealt.

Still, Frosty the Snowman
made one little boy's Christmas bright.
Though two days prior to the big day,
of that detail we all lost sight.

Frosty the Snowman now has gone away,
but Cael knows that Santa Claus will bring him back again someday.

Thumpety-thump-thump
Thumpety-thump-thump
Look at Frosty go.
Thumpety-thump-thump
Thumpety-thump-thump
Over the couple of inches of snow.
