I believe in celebrating EVERYTHING – so in honor of Groundhog’s Day (author unknown but thank you Google) here is a poem and a song – in case you are a teacher or a parent or grandparent or greatgrandparent or ANYONE who likes to have fun!!!!!
HAPPY GROUND HOG DAY
THE POEM
Groundhog’s Holiday
The second month, the second day,
We know is Groundhog’s Holiday.
The keeper of the local zoo,
Photographers, reporters, too,
Anxiously await together
Woodchuck’s forecast of the weather.
Each year this time he leaves his hearth,
His home beneath good Mother Earth.
He wiggles out to see the sun
And sure enough – ask anyone-
Should he perchance his shadow see,
Back to his home again he’ll flee.
And that sign’s still the surest thing
Six weeks must pass before it’s spring!
I LOVE SNOW, I LOVE SNOW, I LOVE SNOW tra la la
THE SONG
Mr. Groundhog
(to the tune of “London Bridges”)
Mr. Groundhog down below,
Pop up through the fluffy snow,
See his shadow watch him go,
Winter’s here to stay.
Mr. Groundhog down below,
Pops up through the fluffy snow,
Wide awake he wants to play,
Spring is on it’s way.
And do you know where I was born? Yes, that’s right. Punxsutawney, PA!
