February Second Visions

And he gazed from that nice warm hole
out at the world with ground hog thoughts,
saw two nerds with camera arguing over if snow needed a flash,
a cop twirling handcuffs and singing some Opera ballad,
two old ladies walking their pet poodles
while holding silver pooper scoopers with smiling faces.

Then this mountain of a construction worker
stomped by carrying a chainsaw and beer,
he smoked a cigar and bellowed about roots
before suddenly pulling out some knitting
that he used to calm his frail nerves.

Three teenagers skipped by carrying a blaring stereo boom box,
they were assaulted by an angry gang of girl scouts
that were on noise pollution crusades.

But the poor ground hog just sighed
for this new subdivision they built near his hole
didn’t look so insane when it started,

Time to go back to sleep
before deciding if he will take up
his cousin’s invite to move to Punsutawney!
