THE
SOUTH TEXAS SNOWMAN
There
lives a misplaced snowman
In
South Texas by the coast.
Cold-hearted
to the core;
Doesn’t
care anymore.
His
bed is made of icebergs;
His
sheets are frosty cold;
And
yet he sleeps without regret,
For
someone he might yet have met.
For
breakfast he eats ice cubes,
For
lunch he eats the same,
For
dinner he just goes without;
He
knows what life is all about.
Disappointment
through the years,
Made
his eyes of coal.
His
broomstick arms do not fold,
From
having no one else to hold.
The
Texas sun that shines so hot,
Can’t
melt the snowman down.
The
rays are blocked out by his hate,
And
loneliness will be his fate.
