Ogden Nash

The Abominable Snowman

The Abominable Snowman - meaning Summary

Playful Fear of the Unknown

This short, humorous poem plays with fear and imagination. The speaker declares anxiety about encountering an abominable snowman but treats that fear lightly by expressing a whimsical wish that any such creature be small. It turns a monstrous idea into a comic, manageable possibility, inviting readers to see dread as mockable and controllable rather than truly threatening. The tone is playful and self-aware rather than earnest or ominous.

I've never seen an abominable snowman, I'm hoping not to see one, I'm also hoping, if I do, That it will be a wee one.
