HAPPY GROUNDHOG DAY!

(too bad we'll have a long winter)

My dad sent this to me in an email today and I thought it was hilarious. (Please sing it to yourself- it's a lot funnier that way)

"In 1899, members of The Slumbering Groundhog Lodge of Quarryville, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania composed a song about groundhogs sung to the tune of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic":

Let the scientific fakirs gnash their teeth and stamp with rage-
Let astrologers with crystals wipe such nonsense from the page-
We hail the King of Prophets, who's the world's outstanding Sage-
TODAY THE GROUNDHOG COMES!
Glory! Glory! to the Groundhog,
Glory! Glory! to the Groundhog,
Glory! Glory! to the Groundhog,
TODAY THE PROPHET COMES![33]"

ps. The movie with Bill Murray is great too. But you're out of luck because I'm sure every video store has lent their last copy by now.
