Skinny Snowman & Learn How to Draw a Snowman.
Help me quick!
Is my snowman sick?
His body is wasting away!
Is my snowman sick?
His body is wasting away!
He used to be fat
With a belly to pat,
But now he gets slimmer each day.
He doesn't work out,
He just stands about.
So why is he still losing weight?
With temperatures higher
He seems to perspire.
Let it snow before it's too late!
