Punxsutawney’s Prophet

Oh Phil give us some light

please speak some hope our way.

 

When I think of this February event

can’t help wondering

if by chance the groundhog

had some special part in other weather activities.

 

Did Noah have one on the ark

and ask it to see if it saw a shadow

so it meant six more weeks of rain?

 

But we never know,

can’t say for sure,

just imagine Noah’s would be as thrilled

from that shadow sighting too.

 

Makes me remember a joke

about Easter off all things

where this eight year on in Sunday School

was asked to explain the meaning.

 

Said it was when the Lord came

out of his tomb,

the teacher was thrilled

until little Sally added

and if He sees His shadow

it means six more weeks of winter.
