Oh Yes, He Did!




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! :)

  1. I think we're all ready for spring! Since when does a groundhog get to predict the seasons? It's just not right!

  2. I 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.
    and.....I would so love it to be spring

  4. Dang 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?

    Let's lynch the little rodent!! (evil giggle)
