Pick up a mitt-full
of sticky snow
pat pat pat
into a small ball
roll it roll it
watch it grow
round and round
go go go
round and round

upon layer of fallen flakes
r o l l i n g big Big B i g g e r and
rolling round round wide wide Wi-der
making round - about wandering paths
pat pat pat pat the white f lu f f stuff
tight tight tight together till you’ve got a
g r e a t b i g h u g e round smoothed
big big big - as - you - can bottom ball
that kind of sort of looks like this
if only this were snow white
and sticky lovely snow
squashed somewhat flat where it touches ground
now stand up straight
do a limbering shake
then bend back down
to start again
pick up snow
pat pat pat
roll it roll it
see it grow
into a round
biggish belly-
middle
button-chest ball
stand up stretch out
sh-a-ky sh-sh-ake
swoop down
up
scoop
one more mitt
of sticky snow
pat it pat it
and roll roll roll
until you’ve got
a perfect head!
plop on top
of balls one and two

with more on top

belly ball buttons
sticks for arms
tip top hat
and flowing scarf
