Another trick when you’re running on empty–artistically–is found poetry. We speak, conversationally, in metrical cadence (usu. iambic pentameter). So ANYTHING overheard can be a song (and sometimes is). But I prefer pilfering published prose to borrow ideas as well as text. A touch of editing and verse might appear. (Not going to force the rhyme, here. That’s too much work.)
History of Snowmen
Documentation of the first snowman's unclear. Bob Eckstein, in History of the Snowman, Found snowman art of the Middle Ages in European museums, art galleries, and libraries. The earliest he found was an anti-Semitic Marginalia from a 1380 book of hours. Michaelangelo was commissioned by Pero de Medici to make one in 1494. [chorus] While the origin of snowmen remains unclear, They have been used in history to make statements. In 1511 Brussels's snowman festival Hoped to appease its hungry and poor. However, instead of building snowmen, The people built pornographic sculptures. The concept made its way to America By the Schenectady Massacre of 1690. It is said that two guards in charge Left snowmen at the gate while they went drinkin'. [chorus]
Now this brazen plagiarism is abetted by two factors: i stole it from Wikipedia (where i pledge several pennies every year), and i own–and have read–this book (a gift from my sister, the librarian). So this rambling might possibly work as a folk screed manifesto.
