To Believe Or Not Believe

~~~to Believe or not Believe~~~

Groundhogs are liars, they do not know

If Spring is here or there'll be more snow

So remember Groundhog day

They're just in it for the pay

While they put on their prophetic show




for Linda Marie's February Funny Bone contest

really cute. I sent you soup mail I hope you received it. I wasn't here much today wasn't up to it. I just found out that you live in Canada. I don't know why but I thought you lived in Pennsylvania USA. I lived in Montreal and Toronto for a while when I was young, loved it then but think I would hate the winters now.

Congratulations on your win in this contest. I messed up mine and didn't use the right title. Check my entry into your latest. Soup or my computer won't let me use that name. They star it out and then won't print it. I got around it but I am really mad that a perfectly honest word can't be used. Love, Joyce

This is hilarious, Francine, though it might upset Pucksatawny Phil (spelling?). LOL He needs to keep his regular job -- hunting and breeding I presume. If he weren't so cute, his ruse would never have lasted so long. Thanks for the input on my poem; the correction's been made. Wishing you big-time success in Linda's contest! Love, Carolyn
