About those lyrics to "Frosty the Snowman"
It occurs to me that nowadays, many children have never seen a traffic cop.
They have never handled lumps of coal.
They are unfamiliar with corn cob pipes.
If they grew up in a household where nobody sews as a craft (as in making clothing) then buttons get sewn back onto the garments they fall off of. There might not be a supply of buttons to use for a snowman's nose.
In this age of synthetic fabrics, good luck finding a discarded silk hat.
And if children were to wander "down the streets of town" without adult supervision, their parents would get a visit from Child Protection Services!
