Stranger in the backyard...

ONCE there was a snowman

Built by Ryan & Emilee in our BACKYARD

COMPLETE with a carrot NOSE, licorce rope MOUTH,

and oreo cookie EYES

Emilee gave it lots of HUGS

And even kissed it GOOD night


LATER that evening

As the sun DIPPED behind the western mountains

Rosco STOOD on the back deck

barking for HOURS in the dark

at the stranger INVADING our backyard



The NEXT morning

we found the MYSTERIOUS stranger

SADLY decapitated

with his edible FACE devoured


Special THANKS to our brave guard dog,

just doing his JOB

PROTECTING our backyard

from SNOWY strangers


ps (GUARD dog now for rent - CHEAP!)
