The snowmen sweat on streets below

as spring arrives and flowers grow.

beneath they cry and mourn their loss

of fallen brethren spring has caught

 

“Crawl in the freezer, bring us too

our frigid grasp will tether you

to restless winds of January

snowflakes burn yet light and airy

and dusk begins in afternoon

we’ll glisten there beneath the moon

 

Stagnation is our only friend

so hold us please past summer’s end

when fall arrives lay with us here

remind us soon that winter nears

when winter comes please bring us down

to new snowmen that sing sweet sounds

 

When April rolls around again

we’ll call on you our closest friend

crawl in the freezer, bring us too

our frigid grasp will tether you.”
