The Snowman's Demise

I have a sad tale to tell.

Once upon a time there was a snowman who was put together lovingly by a beautiful princess and her lowly boy attendants.

The snowman was proud of his carrot nose and his fancy new gloves, hat and scarf and he especially liked the chocolate chip buttons that decorated his chest.

And he was well loved.

But then the lovely princess discovered that he had vilely been beheaded in some downright dastardly deed.

She sweetly repaired him and he was happy.

But not for long.

For then upon him came a devilish dog with dreadful dealings to do.

This poor snowman was first robbed of his gloves and his carrot nose was devoured right off of his face.

Then his prized chocolate buttons met with the same demise.

When his eyes were plucked from his face, he was sure that no more depraved could he become.

.

But then, horror upon horrors,

that devilish dog had no shame and began to chew the very arms from his body.

Once she created a stump of one arm, she moved to the next

and destroyed what was left of poor snowman's dignity.

He tried to fight and hold on but...

though she paused to give that snowman once last glance

that destructive dog devoured it to the last.

Even though nearly destroyed, that snowman still had joy in his heart as evidenced by his surviving smile.

And I could hear him faintly singing-

I fought the law dog and the

dog won.
