C'EST GROUNDHOG DAY : Haiku (chain)
Try some groundhog meat
I once heard 'tis good to eat ; )
Don't eat Pothole Pete
February blahs
Need plenty of oom-pah-pahs
With some oh la las
In Nova Scotia
Says Shubenacadie Sam
"Six more weeks winter"
Punxsutawney Phil
Did briefly spot his shadow
Outside his burrow
Groundhog mania
Down in Pennsylvania
The sun was shining
Wiarton Willy
Whistled from Ontario
"Much snow, no shadow"
Winnipeg Willow
Cheered since spring is on its way
No shadows today
When wrong they are found
And McDonalds is renowned ...
Will taste good as ground ; )
A/N If you're lost in the wilderness and starving, you might be grateful for some ground groundhog or ground squirrel. My long time American friends assured me that they often ate and enjoyed squirrel meat although I've never fancied it. Feb. 2, 2020
