Groundhog's Holiday
The second month, the second day,
We know is Groundhog's Holiday.
The keeper of the local zoo,
Photographers, reporters, too,
Anxiously await together
Woodchuck's forecast of the weather.
Each year this time he leaves his hearth,
His home beneath good Mother Earth.
He wiggles out to see the sun
And sure enough - ask anyone-
Should he perchance his shadow see,
Back to his home again he'll flee.
And that sign's still the surest thing
Six weeks must pass before it's spring!
Darn it! :)
I think we're all ready for spring! Since when does a groundhog get to predict the seasons? It's just not right!
ReplyDeleteI think Canada has a whole set of rules. Even a Moose right now probably wouldn't see his shadow. We have many many weeks before spring appears here.
ReplyDeleteand.....I would so love it to be spring
SILLY OLD GROUND HOG WITH HIS SILLY PREDICTIONS AND SILLY TO HOPE FOR SPRING YET...AT LEAST AROUND HERE..WE'LL HAVE IT IN MAY! COME SAY HI :D
ReplyDeleteDang groundhog! He just looks at the calendar like the rest of us and realizes it cannot possibly start feeling like spring till the middle of March! Who does he think he's fooling?
ReplyDeleteLet's lynch the little rodent!! (evil giggle)
Please don't be afraid by my last comment :D
ReplyDeleteYep, six more weeks. That means I have 6 weeks to lose 30 lbs.
ReplyDeleteI'm still upset about it! I say we outsmart the groundhog and move to Puerto Rico for 6 wks! :)
