we put
an inordinate
amount of
trust
in the
meteorlogistic
prognistication
of a rodent
allowing it
to determine
such an
important
decision
though you
begrudgingly
need to give
the furry
little bastards
a modicum of
credit for
literally
decimating the
human population
that was
clearly
a one off
and we already
let rabbits
the bloodthirsty
mongrels
have easter
i am just
postulating
perhaps it
is enough
with kowtowing
to the rodents
maybe we should
leave the
weather forecast
to the farmer’s
almanac and
the bumbling
meteorologists
and just carry
an umbrella
at all times
seems safer
than
a groundhog
easily frightened
by his own
shadow
determing
when spring
has sprung
Here in Ontario we always find a reason to post our adapted quote, “We’ve had one winter, yes, but what about second winter?” There’s always that last snowfall before spring truly comes, even after some nice warm days.

Illinois was much the same. In Texas we get a week, yet everyone is always surprised.
