What do you think the theme (the message) of this poem is???

Question

I keep my snowman in the freezer
Just behind the pies
He likes it there, he told me so
I can see it in his eyes.
I made him on a cold, cold morning
When the snow was fresh and deep
Now he sits in the freezer
Near the fish that we got cheap.
I keep my snowman in the freezer
And look at him each day.
If I’d left him in the garden
He’d simply have melted away.
But now he’s like my Grandma
Living somewhere safe and nice;
He’s in a frosty, snowy palace
On a throne of coldest ice.
I keep my snowman in the freezer
Near a lump of frozen beef
And I’ve got a treat for him in August:
I’m taking him to Tenerife!






TENERIFE.. is an island with beaches and stuff

Answer 1

Perhaps it's about hanging on to something that you were supposed to have let go of. Snowmen aren't supposed to last, but are supposed to melt with the snow. The poet has held on, but in the end, the snowman will end up melting anyway. The "treat" that is planned won't really be a treat for the snowman, but the end of his existence.

Answer 2

It's the ideal man, made by the poet ("I made him"), so he's perfect - he's a "cool" dude, chillin' right next to the sweets (pie), always within reach & accessible, and a sure date for that summer fling at the beach.

Answer 3

I think the message of this poem might be that some people try to keep somethings that they know are impossible to keep yet they take it everywhere. when it talks about takeing it to that island it probably means that you're hurting that thing by taking it everywher with you.

Answer 4

great.
