White, fluffy, cold and wet
bright sunny days make them sweat

Various in many ways
classic, sporty and even new wave

Sometimes smaller snowbabies with their mothers
wearing hats, mittens and scarves in bright colors

Eyes made of buttons, rocks and coal
even a hat that’s a candy bowl

Sometimes spotting a snowdog or two
a fir tree branch as a tail will do

Funny are the many props
brooms, hockey sticks, beachballs and mops

In front of our homes and standing proud
watching over our house is their vow

As the sun returns they must say good-bye
sneaking away and being ever so sly

Good-bye to our snow friends, until next year
we’ll wait for your return with good cheer
