Friggin' Ground Hogs

Have you ever noticed on Ground Hog Day
The ground hogs hog the spotlight
They're frigging ground hogs for crying out loud
We honour these rodents in spite

Supposedly they know when winter will end
So we let them have their say
They don't need to tell us there's six weeks left
March twenty-first is the day

There's Wiarton Willie and Punxsutawney Phil
Renowned in Canada and the States
I vote we get rid of these annoying li'l buggers
And celebrate with hog stew and cake!

Carol Eastman February 9, 2013 at 8:24 AM Oh No! My cats wait all year to see them on kitty TV! With the squirrels and birds... (Kitty TV is my back window)... You can't take this away from them...

Toquyen Harrell February 8, 2013 at 9:00 PM Ha, I'll go for that -"celebrating with hog stew and cake". Don't think the ground hog would like that idea, lol. Good one. Have a great weekend, Jack. I have been so busy lately with school and working. I am getting ready to have my gallbladder removed on Monday. So it's a lot going on for me. I will try to write and read more if time permits. Love ya, Toquyen Jack Ellison February 9, 2013 at 5:10 AM Much good luck with everything you have going on and get back to writing ONLY when you're ready! I will miss your everyday comments... till then, love and big hugs, Jack xox

Demetrios Trifiatis February 8, 2013 at 8:33 AM Dear Jack, A very fine and funy verse! I enjoyed it a lot! Thank you for your comment!As far as my comment on Canada is concerned, the only thing I have to say, is that it will be an honour for me to include it into April’s edition! I will be happy to make my view on Canada known, for Canada deserves my devotion and my gratitude to the end! Thank you!!! Jack Ellison February 8, 2013 at 8:52 AM Sadly, Canada has lost a great citizen, my dear Demetrios! I'm sure you will be sorely missed! Cheers, Jack
