Near or Far

Hey there folks, did ya all hear,
Punxsutawny Phil saw no shadow this year,
Predicting our springtime is very near.

If Pennsylvania's fuzzy, wuzzy creature,
Ushers in warmth, it'll be its best feature.

For those in the know, they always say,
If shadowiness appears on ground hog's day,
Six more weeks of winter, is coming our way.

Had that been the case, today I'd surely bet,
Folks in the North would begin moving South,
And there they'd stay, forever no doubt!!!
