 “Hurry, hurry, before it goes”Where it came from no one knows.On with the hat, the scarf and the glovesOn with the wellies still covered in mudOn with the mac and out of the doorRunning and sliding and shouting for more.Rolling it up into 2 big ballsLaughing and waiting for more to fall.2 stones for his eyes, a small clump for his snoutA twig for his cigar stuck into his mouth3 stones for his waistcoat to give him some styleOur hat and our scarf complete his profile.Now back in the warmth, we all stand and smileWe check on his wellbeing every little while.But bedtime comes round and sleep fills our eyesWe dream of the snowman and mum’s christmas pies.Tomorrow he’s gone, we don’t really know where,The sun is now shining, we don’t really care.He’s only in transit, he comes and he goesForgotten for now till the next time it snows.© Sheila Ash 17thJanuary 2016ashramblings
