SNOW MAN
He started with a ball of snow
that grew into a boulder.
A carrot for his pokey nose,
a scarf around his shoulder.
He has a funny crooked smile

as firm and cold as ice.

He will stay until comes spring,
but then he’ll have to melt.

Charlie knew that he had waited until the last minute to do his report. As he quickly typed away on his computer, all of a sudden the power went out. He hadn’t saved his document. He just stared at the screen in disbelief as all his work disappeared. It wouldn’t have been so bad if he had saved it earlier, but he hadn’t. Charlie promised himself that this would never happen to him again.
