CALL IT WHAT YOU LIKE

 

Jour de la Marmotte

As the French Canadians say

Grundsaudaag or Murmeltiertag

Is the Pennsylvania German way

But for the rest of us

We just call it Groundhog Day

GROUNDHOG DAY 2015

 

I heard that Punxsutawney Phil had last year

Bitten the towns Mayor's on the ear

It spoilt the photo opportunity alright

I wonder if that would be a sound bite?

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

THE PLURAL OF TOOTH

 

So, if it is correct that

The plural of tooth is teeth

Then why isn’t the plural

Of booth, beeth

IT IS A SAD FACT OF LIFE THAT IS # 1

It is a sad fact of life that is

Something of a curse

Left to themselves things

Will go from bad to worse

A Frog he went a courting,

Well, it’s not like he has

Anything else to do since

He lost the French Presidency
