CAT TALES.
Groundhog Day

Now Grounding day, my
friends, is here, most fateful day
of all the year. The grounding
has all prophets skinned who fuss
with maps and measure wind,
who multiply the worlds distress
with bughouse forecasts in the
press. The grounding scorns all
lows and highs; he views the
landscape and the skies, and if
the weather's bright and fair. with
signs of springtime everywhere,
he crawls right back into his hole,
and sighs, "Oh, winter, let her
roll! There'll still be snow and
ice to burn-you cannot fool me
worth dern!' But if the skies
are overcast, and there's chill
and wintry blast, the grounding
says, I'll stay outdoors and start
to do my vernal chores. Old
Boreas has came and went-he
cannot fool me worth a cent" The
|groundhog's grammar may be
punk, but his predictions are not
bunk. AS we grow old our faith
declines in goosebones and the
other signs, and human prophets
make us sore-they don't guess
right one time in four, and they
are guessing every day, until
they guess their lives away. The
grounding, most retiring seer,
hands out guess but once a
year, with moderation most
sublime, and hits the bulPs-eye
every time. WALT MASON.
