I KEEP MY SNOWMAN IN THE FREEZER
by
Ian McMillan

 

I keep my snowman in the freezer
Just behind the pies
He likes it there, he told me so
I can see it in his eyes.

I made him on a cold, cold morning
When the snow was fresh and deep
Now he sits in the freezer
Near the fish that we got cheap.

I keep my snowman in the freezer
And look at him each day.
If I�d left him in the garden
He�d simply have melted away.

But now he�s like my Grandma
Living somewhere safe and nice;
He�s in a frosty, snowy palace
On a throne of coldest ice.

I keep my snowman in the freezer
Near a lump of frozen beef
And I�ve got a treat for him in August:
I�m taking him to Tenerife!
