The Groundhog
The Easter bunny’s alwaysbusy,
Coloring eggs andweaving baskets in a hurry.
Tom the Thanksgiving turkeyspends his time,
Plumping up and havingto always worry.
Santa and the elves- assemblingtoys,
Stacking them in piles way up in the sky.
While the reindeerexercise daily,
Ready for when theyfly so high.
The donkey and theelephant,
Wave flags, flying inthe breeze.
Spend all the wholeyear through,
The constituents tryingto please.
The April foolsjester,
Tells one bad jokeafter another.
And we all know thechores that are done
By both father and bymother.
Even the New Year’sbaby,
Has a job each yearto change.
While cupid sharpenshis arrows,
So hearts- he canrearrange.
The holiday critter-the groundhog,
has the best life ofall
Who’s only job andwork all year.
Is to make his shadowtall.
when that shadow has beencast,
And seen both far andwide..
The only thing ol’Phil has to do,
Scurry back in his hole and hide.

Has anyone else kinda lost interest in the holidays? I'm 66 married 2 very wonderful adult children but no grandkids. At first I thought it was because there's no small kids to impress anymore but I think there's more to it. I was always big on Christmas thanksgiving even Halloween and now I just wanted it to be over I put on a happy face but inside I'm anything but happy. Is this an age thing or am the only one who feels this way
 
Ever since my pups cornered one. Ground Hog Day will never be the same.
th

There were no scars, but much blood and disposing of a 30lb monster <<<shudder>>>
