Ten Little Soldiers Standing in A Row

[sarumite]

oh well I never was well up on nursery rhymes!! :O(

Five little snowmen standing in a row,
Each had a hat and a big red bow.
Out came the sun and it shone all day,
One little snowman melted away.

Four little snowmen standing in a row ...

Three little snowmen standing in a row ...

Two little snowmen standing in a row ...

One little snowman standing a row ..

Thanks one and all for your help, unfortunately don't think snowmen is right, as there is one letter short, only seven letters instead of eight.

Have tried soldiers on the internet but no nursery rhyme seems to come up with that, so it might be back to the drawing board on this one!! By the way, I have been searching for two days on the internet, have been in two libraries and three bookshops too!!! So, if anyone else has any suggestions, would be really grateful. Thanks again for all your help.
