Groundhog Day
Two groundhogs seemed to disagree
And I am not surprised.
It’s hard to do your job
When so intently scrutinized.
Punxsutawney Phil did see
His shadow, and that means
Six more weeks of winter:
Keep those snow-blowing machines!
Staten Island Chuck emerged;
His shadow stayed away.
Those who analyze predict
We’ll soon see spring’s display.
Choose to be an optimist,
Like Staten Island Chuck,
Or focus on the negative:
Let winter run amok.
Either way, the seasons change
As they are meant to do,
Despite the shadows of some rodents
Who don’t have a clue.
