"Snow Globe"

Oh, it’s a snow globe. Hello Mr. Snowglobe. Haven’t seen a snowglobe for a long, long time. I see you’ve got yourself a snowman in there. Isn’t that nice. Isn’t that charming. But you know it’s not really a snowman, right? Not a real one, anyway. You didn’t know? Well let me tell you. That is not a real snowman. That thing is made out of plastic. PLASTIC. The whole thing, even the little black top hat, sitting kind of crooked there on his little white plastic head, is made of plastic.
But that’s okay, right? Cause it’s snowing, isn’t it. There is snow swirling all over the place like a little blizzard. Phew, that’s good to know. That way there’s plenty of snow for that little man with the shovel to make a real snowman! Out of real snow! Oh, yes, as soon as he finishes shoveling his teeny weeny sidewalk he’s going to head straight over to that plastic snowman and kick it over into the little pine trees, and make a real snowman right there with real snow.
But wait a second, hold on… Huh. That’s not real snow after all! It’s tiny plastic chips of PLASTIC! Oh well. I guess that won’t do anybody all that much good, not if they want to make a real snowman out of real snow. Maybe we can scrape up some of the ice over there that the little girl is skating on. Why don’t we try that? Right, that should do the trick.
Wait a minute, not so fast…
