He is a snowman that doesn’t melt
He is not cold, that I have felt Because he is a snowman that doesn’t melt He has a hat, but not a belt For he is a snowman that doesn’t melt He is made of plaster, not of felt Hail the snowman that doesn’t melt

Haikus are delightful for bad poetry. Traditionally just 17 syllables long, they allow you to get right to the poem, while being short enough to keep the poet from going too far off into the weeds.
