snowperson



why is a snowman called snowman
when there is no gender to see

shouldn’t a snowman be called snowperson
gender-neutral makes nobody bashfully

when a snowman is called snowman
why is there no gender to see

a snowman should be yet called snowperson
gender-neutral makes nobody bashfully

you may say that my suggestion is nonsense
a snowman with gender makes no sense

what’s wrong in my suggestion, what’s wrong with it
I think a snowperson has right to exist

a snowperson has right to exist till it dies naturally
melt away, drain off and come back showery
