Withal enough of deep frostbitten woe.
Embanked like hoary fortress to dismay
Emerging marmot's peek from snowy quay,
From slumber's wrest by sleightly vernal show.
As winds of February gust and blow,
Now's just the time to will the sun away;
For Phil the Punxsatawney skies all gray,
To expiate the wanton frigid snow.

Once bundled from hibernal sleep aground,
The groundhog hesitantly peers around.
His languid eyes sole harbinger of spring,
Deem whether six ensuing weeks shall bring
The rest of winter's icy throes replete…
Unless his frightful shadow spawns retreat!!

Flip a coin that we enjoin,

[At least, according to Ruth]...

smiling at the both of you!

When I say Punxsy, you say Phil! "Punxsy!" "Phil!" "Punxsy!" "Phil!" He's just a cute little bugger. Hey, anyone know what the verdict was yesterday...shadow or no shadow??

Nan, this was very cute and a pleasure to read =)
