 A Groundhog’s Song
Down in my burrow, down so deep, At last I’m awake from a cold winter sleep! I’m a little groundhog, and it’s my day To rise and stretch and go out to play! I grumble, scratch, grunt, and yawn, And eat my breakfast on your front lawn! I’m a little groundhog and it’s my day, To rise and stretch and go out to play! by Author Unknown  Groundhog Day
A shy little groundhog left his bed, Heigh Ho! Heigh Ho! “It must be time for Spring,” he said. He looked to the left, he looked to the right, The day was clear and the sun was bright; He saw his shadow and ran in fright. Then back to his burrow he crept, he crept, And six more winter weeks he slept. by Author Unknown  Groundhog Day
Old Groundhog stretched in his leafy bed. He turned over slowly and then he said, “I wonder if Spring is on the way, I’ll go and check the weather today. If I see my shadow between eleven and noon, I then will know that I’m out too soon. I’ll crawl back in bed for six weeks more, Pull up the warm covers and snore and snore. But if no shadow gives me a scare, I know that Spring is in the air, I’ll wake my friends and wish them cheer, With glorious news that Spring is here.” by Author Unknown  The Second of February
There’s only the day the whole long year, That I hope and pray the Sun won’t appear. The second of February, you all know, The groundhog 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 is cloudy, his shadow’s not there, There’ll soon be warm weather and days will be fair. So please, Mr. Sun, for just this one day. Find a big dark cloud - and stay away! by Author Unknown  Here’s a Little Groundhog
Here’s a little groundhog, furry and brown, He’s popping up to look around. If he sees his shadow, down he’ll go. Then six more weeks of winter - Oh, no! by Author Unknown: sung to the tune of, “I’m a Little Teapot”  Groundhog’s Holiday
The second month, the second day, We know is Groundhog’s Holiday. The keeper of the local zoo, Photographers, reporters, too, Anxiously await together Woodchuck’s forecast of the weather. Each year this time he leaves his hearth, His home beneath good Mother Earth. He wiggles out to see the Sun And sure enough - ask anyone - Should he perchance his shadow see, Back to his home again he’ll flee. And that sign’s still the surest thing Six weeks must pass before it’s spring! by Author Unknown |

Groundhog Day is observed on February 2nd of each year by Americans. By the holiday tradition, if the groundhog peers out of its burrow, sees its shadow, and then ducks back into its burrow and returns to sleep, Winter will last for six more weeks. However, if the groundhog does not see its shadow and comes out of its burrow, then Spring will arrive early.
