Christmas card by Paper Magic Group USA

Yey! The first snow of winter has fallen over Britain. Let’s celebrate! I reckon the Bard of Barnsley, Ian McMillan, won’t mind me sharing his poem funny with you.

I keep my snowman in the freezer

by Ian McMillan

I keep my snowman in the freezer

Just behind the pies

He likes it there, he told

me so

I can see it in his eyes.

I made him on a cold,

cold morning

When the snow was fresh and deep

Now he sits in the freezer

Near the fish that we got cheap.

I keep my snowman in the freezer

and look at him each day.

If I’d left him in the garden

He’d simply have melted away.

But now he’s like my Grandma

Living somewhere safe and nice;

He’s in a frosty, snowy palace

on a throne of coldest ice.

I keep my snowman in the freezer

Near a lump of frozen beef

And I’ve got a treat for him in August

I’m taking him to Tenerife!
