TheBanyanTree: Tacky snowman poem

Oh yeah, bad poetry - that's my genre (intentionally or not!!)
 
Snowman, snowman, on the ground
Snowflakes swirling all around
Landing on your carrot nose
What you're thinking no-one knows.
 
Kids come up and kick your "feet"
Throw your coal-eyes to the street
Break your stick-arms, toss 'em high
Does it make you want to cry?
 
Do you feel the pain of loss?
Or are you rather getting cross?
Would you reach out, if you could
And beat 'em like a snowman should?
 
Or would you rather melt away
Into a puddle by end of day
Evaporating to be again
Sparkling drops of springtime rain.
