Punxsutawney Phil Speaks

Punxsutawney Phil Speaks Shadow!.. No Shadow!... What’s wrong with you people? I feel like this is something evil Every year it’s the same old thing I don’t give a hoot about spring Put me back in my burrow We’ll talk about this tomorrow I’m not a circus act that works for free Let me be to sleep Hey crazy people! It’s freezing! And February 2nd.… wait a second Isn’t even my birth day What’s with the big black hats anyway? And where is your fur? Put me back in my burrow Punxsutawney Phil is a stupid name I don’t speak and I don’t play games Ground hogs don’t perform They only want to keep warm If you want me to predict the weather Get me a female of my species and a sweater To make me famous for one day I really don’t have much to say But let’s continue with this scam Does anyone realize I’m not a man?

Love this, Earl! An excellent, witty write and I think you are absolutely right in how you expressed poor Phil's point of view! It's a winner for me! Sandra
