Ode to a Groundhog

Ode to a Groundhog

The groundhog is a jolly fellow
Even though he is sometimes yellow.
He is cool and very mellow.
I think he is really swello.

In winter he sleeps in fields that are fallow,
A quiet chap, he never bellows.
I’ve never seen one that eats green jello,
But I still think that he is swello.

On groundhog day he looks for his shadow,
If he sees it that’s really bad-o
The shadow of this swell ol’ fellow
Means six more weeks of winter will follow
