Ten Little Snowballs
Snow fell last night and it fell so hard,
when I looked out my window, it covered up my yard.
I made Ten little snowballs and I put them in a line.
One fell off the wall, and then there were Nine.
Nine little snowballs, I put them on the gate.
One fell off and then there were Eight.
Eight little snowballs, I hit One up towards heaven.
It came down splat! and then there were Seven.
Seven little snowballs, I hit One with a stick.
It broke in little pieces and then there were Six.
Six little snowballs, all lined up side by side.
My dog stole One and then there were Five.
Five little snowballs, I took them to the store.
One fell off my sled, so then there were Four.
Four little snowballs, underneath a tree.
I threw One at a monster, then there were Three.
Three little snowballs, I'll share them with you.
You have One and I have Two.
Two little snowballs, left out in the sun.
One melted away and then there was One.
One little snowball left all alone.
I'll put it in my pocket and take it home.
