My snowman had a cap
With stripes of gray and blue
I hoped I might be given it
When he melted
But there was someone else who needed it.
You should have mopped him up
You shouldn't have evaporated in the cold
My father had to scoop him up
He did what he was told.
He worked himself away
Feeding fires day by day
Daddy was 13th generation
So close to liberation
Another group came in
Their first job was to burn him
At least when he was alive
It wa easier for him to survive.
I hate them for making him what he is:
A burner of the furnaces
I am but two
Do not know the meaning of "Jew"
But that's what daddy is
Mama said I am Aryan
But they put me on a train
I can't complain
I am merely ashes, waiting to rain
