“If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. No use being a damn fool about it.” ― W.C. Fields

 

The Snowman

"My snowball heart is a sorbet,
With delusions of grandeur,
Use alcohol instead of snow,
And I'd make a fine iced liqueur.

My arrival and departure,
Are never certain things,
Wherever the North wind blows,
I descend on the iciest wings.

Here one day, gone the next,
My appearances are fleeting,
Then I'm disembodied by thaws,
Until our next frosty meeting."
