Punxsutawney Phil Speaks

Punxsutawney Phil Speaks A life of Riley, I wallow, While at the fairground my fans are all gung-ho Why should I bother to come out of my hollow? They’re all out there waiting and watching for the verdict I have the right to object, but they might evict I am so excited they all wait for me to show now My gorgeous bod and to take a bow, For my stunning warm furry rodent performance And all my noisy whistles, shrills, and sometimes my happy grunts Should I keep wallowing in my hollow? Or let them suffer by seeing my strikingly attractive shadow And let them think they have six more weeks of winter or bring Them at ease and be kind and do my duty and let them have spring Or be the star of the day and be honored To parade me around raise over their shoulders while cheered and be bantered My fans dance, rise, analyze, and criticize With the blinding display of light exploding in from of my eyes I come out to make my debut, but a shadow I saw and with shrieks Ran back in my hollow to wallow another six weeks 1/16/2015 Sponsor: John Lawless Contest: Punxsutawney Phil Speaks
