I met a traveller from a muddy place,
Who said—"One small and footless step of thin ice
Rests in the yard. . . . Near it lies the face,
Of mud reversed from snow a visage lies, whose grimace,
And icy lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which lasted, stamped once on a snowman's noggin,
The hand that crafted, on the snowman's head;
Within the mire, these words appear:
My name is Snowzymandias, King of Toboggan!;
Look on my Works, ye Frozen, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that minuscule print, alone and bare
The lone and yellow grass stretch far away."

Nice poem...but actually, you spilled a drink, didn'tcha? ;>
Why, I'm as steady as Foster Brooks!
