GROUNDHOG
Ninety-two days is an awesome number
Allowing the groundhog winter slumber
On February two, while still in sleep
Someone reached into his den in the deep
They shook him a bit to open his eyes
And what he saw then, was no surprise…
A throng of people, with shadows deep
So they put him back to finish his sleep
Shivering through sleep on those dark cold nights
He requests for next year, … warm thermal tights
