The Man I Built

Now the snow has melted
I have built a man of bricks
He’s sturdy and he’s solid
However, I could not teach him tricks

Now the snow has melted
I have built a man of cheese
You can smell him miles away
Whenever there is a breeze

Now the snow has melted
I have built a man of rain
He gushed into the gutter
Moreover, he dribbled down the drain

Now the snow has melted
I have built a man of air
Although it too me ages
People say he is not there

Now the snow has melted
I have built a man of hope
He gives me inspiration
When I fell, I cannot cope
