Snowman's Lament
February 22, 1997

Listen Here:
As winter winds do harshly blow,
And from the clouds does fall the snow,
A little cabin in the woods
Begins to fill with smells so good.

The air is crisp, the time is near,
Through the window I stop and peer.
It's not enough to calm my soul,
My heart is set on soup from a bowl!

Oh soup! Oh soup!
Oh lovely soup!
How I wish that I were in the loop.

I cannot stand to be so near.
For the soup I shall not get, I fear.

If I could, I surely would,
Go into that cabin in the woods.

Alas, it cannot be, and why? I know.
For I am, but a man, made from snow.
A Story
Unifinished
Since it's been so long
Since I saw you,
Except in my dreams,
Where you appear every night.

I wanted to tell you
A story of sorts
A fantasy, really
About the moon and the stars,
Things near and far,
And the hopes and fears,
And the laughs and the tears.

The story, it starts
In a place much like this,
But different, no - better
It starts with a kiss.

The moon was full bright,
The stars all alight,
And your beauty did my presence grace.

Though to each other,
Our faces weren't new,
The feelings I felt,
Couldn't exist without you.
