I've Got Beef With a Groundhog

Six more weeks of Winter

Where is that little twit?

Yeah, he was just doing his job

But, I think he should quit

Groundhog, oh, groundhog

where did you go?

I am trudging and tromping

Through six inches of snow

Bats in my belfry

Hmmm...

I just want relief

So, this half-batty chic

Is declaring a beef

Beef with the groundhog

And his shadow-based news

Beat feet, little fellow

Mama's got on her running shoes

To catch you and scold you

My number one task

To make you retract

Your dumb little notion-

An extended Winter forecast

I'm shivering, I'm cold

Tired of New York's wonky weather

I am a reasonable gal

We can work this out together

Hide, if you will

Laugh at my grief

But I'm coming for you, groundhog

With you, I've got beef

My poem is an entry in Mikeydred's February prompt found here👇

The groundhog saw his shadow this year, indicating six more weeks of Winter. While my silly little poem is all just in the name of fun, Spring doesn't officially begin until Thursday, March 20. So, I suppose it's not rocket science to expect more wintry weather.

Thanks, Mikeydred for hosting your prompts, and thanks to all who read!
