Groundhog Day February 2nd

 

I awoke 

Again I  could sleep 

No more in the middle of the night

So I sit on the edge of my bed 

It happens at midnight 

"Rodents" called Groundhogs are edgy 

When daylight comes they'll pop out 

Out of their nesting hole that they'd dug 

When it's time for the sun 

They'll look for their shadow 

One privileged

GROUNDHOG DETERMINES 

If it sees it's shadow it will scare 

AND run back in and hide 

Hide for six more weeks 

Means no more spring weather 

For six more weeks 

. . . 

Worrying about that, I can't sleep  

. . . 

. . .
