Ground Hog Day


Ground Hog Day


We know every year comes the day
We see if our Winter will stay…
The Ground Hog will show
By shadow we’ll know
If we can put snow gear away.

If he sees his shadow at all
Then Winter will stay here on call…
No shadow means great!
Spring’s right at the gate!
Let’s dance and go have us a ball!

However I heard from good source
Phil Ground Hog will have no remorse…
He will not come out
You better not pout
If Springtime goes far off its course!

Hi Sandra, Limericks are tricky and hard to do in my estimation. You have 3 fine ones here. They look like they are right on course for a victory. Good luck in the contest. Earl

Thanks, Casarah, for your sweet comment. When it comes to weather, it is what is...ground hog or not! But, at least the days are getting longer here in the North East! Hugs, Sandra
