Punxy Phil I Am

Here I am in my dear homeplace.
Amidst the cheer and chatter.
I see such hope on every face
as they yank me out with a clatter.

A chamomile tea would suit me well.
So hurry off my good man.
Tis' nearly time that I foretell
as only Punxy can.

So many folks from near and far
have come to hear my prediction.
Like wishing on a falling star
they all eat up this fiction!

All these humans take my word
and watch my fetching shadow.
To me it's bordering on absurd;
just a showman born to wow!
