Analysis of Snowman
See the big snowman, white
Glistering in the sun, bright
See its long nose of ice
Standing so straight, nice
See its old broom in the right
Holding it up, holding it tight
See its two eyes, black
Made out of coal, no lack
See its big hat, dark blue
Wearing it proudly, like you
See its good shape, round
Waiting for frost without sound
See its bright smile, great
Laughing at you, no fade
