Two Groundhogs

Two groundhogs, the focus of news,

Saw no shadows, according to crews

Who were filming to learn

What they’d hoped to discern

About how long we’d pay winter’s dues.


Lack of shadows means we should prepare 

For an earlier spring, if we dare,

Since predictions by Chuck*

And/or Phil* count on luck

More than science, we should be aware.


Still, it’s great that this year they agree,

Though of course, there is no guarantee

Nature does what she should

So some rodents look good,

Even if it was shown on TV.


*Staten Island Chuck and Punxsutawney Phil
