Groundhog Salute

"Away in a meadow all covered with snow
The little old groundhog looks for his shadow
The clouds in the sky determine our fate
If winter will leave us all early or late."

- Don Halley

"There's only one day the whole long year, that I hope the pray the sun won't appear.
The second of February, you all know, the ground hog goes searching for his shadow.
If he should find it, the story is told, we'll have six more weeks of winter's cold.
But if it's cloudy, his shadow's not there. There'll soon be warm weather and days ill be fair.
So please, Sun, for just this one day, find a big dark cloud--and stay away!"
