As already mentioned, there are several in Edison.  If you want to roll
your own, you can't get much simpler than Okasaki's lazy skew heaps, from
"The Fun of Programming" (the Edison version is a specialized version
of this):

data Tree a = Null | Fork a (Tree a) (Tree a)

isEmpty :: Tree a -> Bool
isEmpty Null = True
isEmpty _ = False

minElem :: Tree a -> a
minElem (Fork x a b) = x

deleteMin :: Ord a => Tree a -> Tree a
deleteMin (Fork x a b) = merge a b

insert :: Ord a => a -> Tree a -> Tree a
insert x a = merge (singleton x) a
  where singleton x = Fork x Null Null

merge :: Ord a => Tree a -> Tree a -> Tree a
merge a Null = a
merge Null b = b
merge a b
  | minElem a <= minElem b = join a b
  | otherwise              = join b a
  where join (Fork x a b) c = Fork x b (merge a c)
