Name:________________________

Groundhog Day Old Groundhog stretched in his leafy bed, Turned over slowly and then he said, I wonder if spring is on the way. Ill go and check the weather today. If I see my shadow between eleven and noon, I then will know that Im out too soon. Ill 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. Ill wake my friends and wish them cheer, With glorious news that spring is here!
