Groundhog Day - the New Version
It’s Groundhog Day, which made me think
Of Punxsutawney Phil,
Who saw his shadow, which implies
More weeks of winter’s chill.
But I have got a great idea
Which shouldn’t make folks grouchy –
Let’s pick a day to test the shadow
Thrown by Dr. Fauci.
If he wakes up and steps outside,
His shadow on the ground,
Then there will be six months or more
With Covid still around.
But if his shadow doesn’t show,
We’ll know that the vaccine
Has done its job, so Covid
Will spend less time on the scene.
We all could use a little hope
And Fauci is our man
If he lets his shadow slip away
Like that of Peter Pan.
