the Snowman

A broken umbrella keeps off the sun.
An oblong head that won't be outdone.
Snow pea eyes and a carrot nose
That leaves orange streaks whenever it blows.

A little too short and a little too fat.
No need for ears or a mouth or a hat.
Beauty is found in the eye that beholds it
And maybe in the hands that rolled it.
