Poetry

The more it snows

by A.A. Milne

The more it snows

Tiddly Pom

The more it goes

Tiddly Pom

the more it goes

Tiddly Pom

on snowing

And nobody knows

Tiddly Pom

How cold my toes

Tiddly Pom

How cole my toes

tiddly pom

are growing.

Five little snowmen

Five little snowmen all in a row

Each with a hat

and a big red bow

Out came the sun

and it stayed all day

And one of those snowmen melted away.

I am a snowman (www.geocities.com/mystorytime/snow.htm)

I am a snowman, cold and white                    Stand up tall

I stand so still through all the night

With a carrot nose                                        Point to nose

And head held high

And a lump of coal to make each eye.          Point to eyes

I have a muffler made of red,                         Pretend to tie scarf

And a stovepipe hat upon my head               Place hands on top of head

the sun is coming out, oh my!                    Make big circle overhead

I think that I am going to cry                    Wipe tear from eyes

Yesterday I was plump and round          Form large circle with arms

Now I'm just a river on the ground!          Sink to the floor
