Raise something up, a man of snow
In image of a man of dust"

We build a snowman no one will know
For the snow will melt away
As night turns into day."

he's broader than he's tall,
his ears are tin, his eyes are coal,
he has no neck at all."

Do you like your hat?
You sit so quiet
And comfortable and fat."

birthing a corpulent man
donning a tattered scarf with
a faded top hat rooted firmly
on his bleached head."

Out your window,
and he offers you a ride,
Don't accept it."

For all the girls and boys
To whisk them away on a merry ride
To the land of toys."

outside in sunny cold.
When we were all done with it,
we had our snowman bold."

Thick and Fast
Build a snowman
Make him last"

Walking solitary among black boughs."

At night, by stealth

When the snow began."

In image of a man of dust."
