Notes About The Poem
Groundhogs — also called the woodchuck, land beaver, whistle pig, or red monk — were drafted into service for [groundhog] day when Europeans realized the hibernating animal they associated with spring's arrival in the old country, a type of badger, wasn't native to North America.--NPR
Pragmatically Speaking
On Groundhog Day
if Phil sees his shadow, or not,
it's still only six weeks
until Spring equinox!
