A funny little poem about a Snowman

Once there was a snowman
Who stood outside the door
He wished that he could come inside
And run about the floor
He wished that he could warm himself
Beside the fire so red
He wished that he could climb
Upon the big white bed

So he called to the North Wind,
"Come and help me pray
For I'm completely frozen
standing here all day"
So the North Wind came along
And blew him in the door
Now there's nothing left
But a puddle on the floor.

The Joy of Giving -
by John Greenleaf Whittier

Somehow, not only for Christmas,
But all the long year through,
The joy that you give to others
Is the joy that comes back to you;
And the more you spend in blessing
The poor and lonely and sad,
The more of your heart's possessing
Returns to make you glad.
