Groundhog Day

Punxsutawney Phil has spoken once again. Roughly translated, his thoughts were something like this:

Another winter's slumber paused so I could meet the crowd.
It's hard to sleep anyway when the party is this loud.
I envy your energy. I envy the fun.
I envy all of you and your opposable thumbs.
But it's not what I feel it's what I see and what you hear,
so gather round and let me be clear.
Atmosphere is a wonderful thing,
and we can create our own and the weather it brings.
It brings hope for the future and so much more.
Maybe some Punxsutawney Phil write-in votes in 2024...
But what this weather did not provide
is a shadow or reason to hide!
Glad tidings on this Groundhog Day;
an early spring is on the way!

The Future

Oh gee, I hope we don't get stuck in a time loop!
