The Snowman

I tried to make a snowman, but it wasn’t very good
The sun it kept on melting it, so I made it out of wood
I gave it rivets for its buttons and tacks for both its eyes
And a balsa wood bowler hat, tipped gently to the skies
But someone got the season wrong and what they did was dire
They went and took my wooden snowman and made a big bonfire
