PUNXSUTAWNEY PHIL

(c) 2018 Edward York

 

The day is again upon us.

When released from his cage,

All eyes on the giant rodent,

As he takes center stage.

 

He has become quite a celebrity,

The crowds gathered on the scene,

Hopes, prayers, and fingers crossed,

A shadow won\'t be seen.

 

It was hard for me to imagine,

That so many get a thrill,

From such a hairy creature,

Known as Punxsutawney Phil.

 

Some try to sway his judgment,

He may even get a threat,

Just to keep his eyes closed,

But nothing has worked yet.

 

He is never very popular,

Unless clouds cover the sun,

Announcing to the people,

That winter\'s almost done.
