Thursday, February 2, 2023 Groundhog’s Day In the deep of the winter, the town had grown cold And even the children felt bitter and old. There wasn’t a happy person for miles. No one could remember what it felt like to smile. And just when it seemed things couldn’t get any worse, The power went out, as if there was a curse. The heat in the homes quickly dissipated And these days the homes don’t have fireplaces. So the people of town sat in darkness and shivered While discomfort consumed them and hope quickly withered. But in a small house, a small child named Brian Awoke to the sound of his young sister crying. He spoke rather softly as he comforted her, “There’s no need to be scared, for it’s February the first.” “Tomorrow’s the day that the great groundhog comes And scares off the winter and brings back the sun.” His sister remembered the legend as well. There was part that her brother had yet to tell. “If there wasn’t a hole from which he could arise, He’d stay in his burrow and never arrive.” So, they went to the backyard and just with each other Began digging a hole when out came their mother. “Will you please explain the meaning of this? Is there a reasonable story for this hole that you dig?” The children explained to their mother the truth And before very long she was shoveling too. “No child,” She thought, “Should have taken away The joy and the love of Groundhog’s Day.” The neighbours soon noticed all of the commotion and were moved by the children’s display of emotion. So, the families next door, and those next door to them, Gathered shovels and spades and began to join in. Soon the whole neighbourhood came to work on the pit. Some brought drinks for the adults, some brought songs for the kids. The adults dug and dug while drinking their spirits While the children sang loud, so the groundhog would hear it. “O Groundhog, wise groundhog,” They shouted with mirth, “See not your shadow; See only the earth.” As the sound of celebration grew incredibly loud, it began to awaken everybody in town. One by one, they got dressed and quickly appeared To find out the cause of this sudden good cheer. First came a banker then came a cashier Soon joined by a fisherman straight from the pier. Then came a butcher, a stockboy, the mayor, A doctor, three line cooks, and a pro baseball player. Following them were children by the dozen, The Lees and the Smiths, the Johnsons and their cousins. The whole town came together and worked as team Until the hole was finished and everybody agreed. It was wider across than the banker’s new boat And as deep as the thoughts of his girlfriend, the poet. Deep at the bottom, they laid out a plate That in the morning was going to have been ate. The people grew tired and headed off to bed. “Happy Groundhog’s Day,” some spoke. “You as well,” others said. The townsfolk slept soundly, but the groundhog was stirring And gathering presents from the hoard in his burrow. The wisest of rodents knew his work must be done in time that was left ‘til the rise of the Sun. Through his network of tunnels he diligently crawled To bring gifts to good children and good tidings to all. With the presents delivered, he readied himself, And steadied himself from the nerves that he felt. In just several minutes, he knew it would be time For his moment of duty; his moment to shine. He’d do the great job groundhogs have done forever. He’d rise from the ground and he’d predict the weather. A small crowd had now gathered, together to wait For the groundhog to come and reveal them their fate. His cute little nose poked up from his mound. The people grew quiet. No one dared make a sound. They waited… and waited… and waited… and waited… for the nervous rodent to end his delayin’. And quit with this waiting game that he’s playing. Then the groundhog rose up and looked all around And saw not a shadow but only the ground. The people rejoiced for they knew what this meant; Soon it would be warm; soon the winter would end. All across town the shouting was heard. All that were sleeping suddenly stirred. The scent of pine cookies filled every house. Oatcakes and carrot juice filled each child’s mouth. They rushed to the backyard to find the hole full of presents And cried out with joy, both rich folks and peasants. For there was one thought that filled them all with cheer. The groundhog had not seen his shadow this year.
