“Our Snowman,” read by Pat Severin.
Our Snowman
by Pat Severin
Blistery, blustery, blizzardy day,
Snowing and blowing our snowman away.
Oh, how I wish, really wish, he could stay,
But it’s such a blistery, blustery day.
We made him last Sunday, my sister and me.
He’s standing right under our sycamore tree.
An old hat of Daddy’s, a scarf from Aunt Fay …
Please stop, you old blistery, blustery day!
Your winds whistle past him and pull at his hat.
Why must you keep howling and blowing like that?
The good packing snow helped us make him with ease,
So calm down you blizzardy winds, won’t you, please?
