Four Little Snowmen

Four little snowmen, standing by the tree.
One ran away, then there were three.

Three little snowmen, with nothing to do,
One ran away, then there were two.

Two little snowmen, out in the sun.
One ran away, then there was one.

One little snowman, now all alone.
He got bored and so he went back home.
