A Snowman’s Dilemma
I don’t mind when the weather is cold
I stand straight and play my role
The children like to hold my hand
And play with me whenever they can
The wind howls and the weather gets mean
It doesn’t matter I’m always serene
I get lonely when the sun goes down
I’m no longer the toast of the town
The sun comes up and its time to fear
My life on earth has lost its cheer
My body shakes this maybe the end
I pray for the cold to start
Alas, my world is crumpling and we must part
I can only say as a last resort
Being a snowman, life is short
Americans All
They work side by side, Americans all,
Not realizing what was about to fall,
Evil appeared with destruction in mind
With a force that was one of a kind
Death took over, then came the fears,
That a search for life would bring on the tears
All of America aware of this grief,
Became united all seeking relief
