Indifference.

The grounding doesn't seem to
care how often his predictions fail;
he rests in comfort in his lair, and
let's the hide go with the tail On.
Grounding day the people cry, "The
critters shadow doesn't show! We
may expect an azure sky, an end to
winter and its snow" And SO they
welcome Gentle Spring before that
season is on deck. and while they
gambol. dance and sing, blizzard
swats them in the neck. The ground
hog, from its lonely cave, beholds
the tempest rear ahd scoot, and list
ems to the wild winds rave, and
doesn't seem to care a hoot. And
much | envy him his sense; I can
not shoe bad dreams away; I suf-
Ter agonies intense, whene'er I've
pulled a bonehead play. I'm tortured
through the weary night by recol-
lections OF time when | departed
from the right and sprung a carni-
val of crime. | traded horses now
and then when in the glowing flush
OF youth, and roundly soaked a lot
OF men who trusted that l told the
truth. I've done a lot of graceless
things, and not one sin can | forget;
and IN my consciousness there rings
a voice that says, You'll paw I'D
yet! For ME there is no soothing
balm. no comfort for my jaded soul;
SO | admire the groundhog's calm,
as he sits gazing from his hole.
