Groundhogs Are Liars

If I were a goundhog I'd bloody well hide.
Groundhogs are just liars, they have no sense of pride.
They said that winter's over and spring is on it's way.
I think those stupid groundhogs were drinking on that day.
Winter isn't over, it just goes on and on.
I think those awful groundhogs perpetrated a con.
It should be open season on groundhogs everywhere.
If I were a groundhog I'd stay inside my lair.
As far as I'm concerned, groundhogs are fair game
And as for their psychic abilities, they are pretty lame.
Those groundhogs got our hopes up to see an early spring
But that is not the case as it is still snowing.
I hate those lying groundhogs, don't trust what they say.
They really have no clue, they're just in it for the pay.

Punxsutawney Phil doesn't know what all the fuss is about. After all, he's about as accurate as the weatherman, isn't he, Francine? This title caught my eye and I'm so glad it did. Your frustration with winter will be engraved on your epitaph. Very cute!! Love, Carolyn

Groundhogs are not liars, people are. Nevertheless, you have written this entry well with your usual great descriptiveness and rhyming.
