The Snowman's Resolution

The snowman's hat was crooked
And his nose was .out of place
And several of his whiskers
Had fallen fro~ his face.

But the snowman didn't notice
For he was trying hard to think
Of a New Year's resolution
That wouldn't melt or shrink.

He thought and planned and pondered
With his little snow-ball head
'Till his eyes began to glisten
And his toes began to spread;

And at last he said, "I've got it--
make a firm resolve
~hat no matter what the weather
My smile will :not dissolve ."

Now the snowman acted wisely
And his resolution won
For his splinter smile was wooden
And it didn't mind the sun!
