My Holiday Story:  

"Lost my head, again."

On top of my Snowman

On top of my Snowman, 
covered with fresh snow,
I lost his round head, 
when winter winds started to blow.

His head rolled off the lawn, 
and into the lane
Then my snowman’s head 
was slurped up by a plane.

My Snowman was headless 
until Christmas Eve,
When Santa flew over 
and guess what I received.

Outside my front window, 
I heard Santa say,
“I’ve returned your friend’s head 
and hope it will stay.”

So if you have a Snowman, 
covered with fresh snow
Hold onto his round head, 
‘cause a winter wind may blow.
