The Dirigible Balloon
Poetry for Children

The best thing about snow

In my hands is a tiny ball of snow
I imagine a snowman
Rolling on the floor
Tumbling over and over
Like the biggest roll-over ever
And his stomach making
A rumbling sound.
I imagine him laughing a lot
Ha! Ha! Ha!
Like Santa laughs when he slides
Down the chimney
Ho! Ho! Ho!
Knowing his reindeer are waiting for him
On a roof top full of Snow.
