The Robin And The Snowman! Poem by Denis Martindale

The robin on the tree branch saw
The children in the snow,
To see a sight none could ignore,
He watched their snowman grow...
Two arms, two legs, two ears, two eyes,
One mouth, one nose, one scarf,
The robin smiled with some surprise
And then began to laugh!

And when they turned to go inside,
He landed on its head,
The children's mouths dropped open wide,
So they stood still instead...
The robin twisted left and right,
Like Elvis in his prime,
The children giggled with delight
At something so sublime...

And with their smartphone cameras there,
The videos were made,
For sites like YouTube, where folks share
The funny stuff that's played...
And someone added music, too,
You know how people are,
And yet, in truth, I'm telling you,
That robin's now a star!
