Cosmos Bans Ground Hog Day

To the invisible masters of the universe Those shadowy investors who controlled the government The military, the media, culture, and society. There were many things That did not make sense anymore That should be jettisoned. To make way for the new emerging world A world in which the new AI overlords would gradually take over And humanity will be taken care of But the human committee would remain in charge. the committee that did not exist The new COSMOS Super AI To rank order things that could be done away with. Cosmos gave the committee the list Among them were the quaint custom of Groundhog Day Groundhog Day just did not make any sense How could a lowly groundhog seeing its shadow foretell the weather? And why did people make such a big deal Of this poor little creature Who had to be poked awake Every February 2nd to make his stupid forecast? the word went out Groundhog Day would no longer Be observed, broadcasted Or even mentioned anymore. But the legend of Groundhog Day Continued underground for centuries Became symbols of resistance To the COSMOS AI overlord And the committee that did not exist. The phrase long lives the groundhog Became a rallying point For the resistance movement.
