LITTLE BOY BLUE

 

A person who blows their own trumpet

Is by nature a soloist

Alternatively, the person could always be

A contortionist

LONG LIFE

They asked the world’s oldest human being

But most of all you must keep breathing”

A NEW BROOM

 

Two brooms were wed

And when “I do’s” were said

The lady broom disclosed

The reason for her clothes

Of generous flatter

And the fact of the matter.

A little broom was on its way

Oh, what a happy day

But he was not so happy

With expecting a little chappie

This just wasn’t fair

As he hadn’t swept with her

And doesn't know where to find them.

Or that the farmer had to burn them

ALL-TIME CLASSIC MOVIE FAVOURITES – GROUNDHOG DAY (1993)

 

“Groundhog Day” is a comedy, screenplay by Danny Rubin and Harold Ramis, and Directed by Harold Ramis.

TV weatherman Phil (Bill Murray) reluctantly has to do an outside broadcast in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, on Groundhog Day, to cover the story about, what he calls, a weather forecasting “rat”, Punxsutawney Phil, who is in fact a Groundhog.

Furthermore, it’s his fourth year on the story, and he makes no effort to hide his displeasure.

But he travels to Pennsylvania anyway with Producer Rita (Andie MacDowell) and Cameraman Larry (Chris Elliott) and dutifully fulfils his obligation while barely concealing his contempt for the whole event.

And that night when he went to bed, he consoled himself that it was only one day, but on awaking the following morning he discovers that it's Groundhog Day again, and again, and again.

At first, he uses this anomaly to his advantage, to seduce women, be outrageous, be obnoxious, all without consequence, but eventually he comes to the realisation that he is doomed to spend the rest of eternity in the same place, seeing the same people, do the same thing every day, unless he can change, if not the day, then himself.

GROUNDHOG DAY FEBRUARY 2ND

 

According to German folklore,

If the skies are cloudy

When from its burrow,

A groundhog emerges

On Groundhog Day,

Then spring will come early

But if the skies are sunny,

And the groundhog

Sees its own shadow

It will return to its burrow

And Winter will continue

For six more weeks

CANDLEMAS DAY

 

If Candlemas is sunny and bright

We will again feel Winters bite.

If Candlemas brings cloudy skies

Spring will be an early surprise
