Punxsutawney Phil

Punxsutawney Phil is not seeking his shadow. He's peering out to find his lady love. If she appears he'll woo her to his burrow And we can deal with winter here above. What does he care if springtime's late or early? He's warm and loved within his earthy home. A groundhog gives but little thought to humans, Nor pictures self as subject of a poem. We've told ourselves if he has seen his shadow, We will have six more weeks of wintertime. But with his love beside him he is nesting And staying there, where living is sublime. January 5, 2015
