Will He or Won’t He

It’s almost time for him to awake.

That rodent of ill gotten fame..

As far as he’s concerned,

The weather is just a game.

He will crawl out of his hole

And look around,

The whole thing is a bore.

Shadow or not,

He will dive back in his hole,

And then you’ll hear him snore.

But what if he doesn’t awake

And stays in his hole until spring?

I guess we would wait as we always do

Because it’s no big thing.

Four weeks, six or eight,

Winter lasts forever.

But that’s okay with me,

I love winter weather.
