Frosty the snowman, was a jolly sporty soul.
With a corn cob pipe and a button nose and two poems made out of stone.
Down to Division, with a shopping bag in his hand.
Running here and there all around Bridge Square saying find me if you can.

Grandma got run over by a 10-speed
Walking home from Monarch Christmas Eve.
You can say there's no such thing as karma
But as for grandma I'm sure she believes.

She'd been drinking too much eggnog
And we begged her to please stop.
But she went and maxed out grandpa's Visa.
When she went through that parking lot.
