From "Spring Will Come" by Howard L. Kaplan (1985):
I have heard that the two-legged creature,
Dressed for warmth in another's fur,
Thinks of me as a kind of teacher
Who has knowledge to share with her.
"Leave your burrow at early morning.
Seek your shadow," I hear her say.
"Is it welcome or is it warning?
What is it you predict today?"
[Happy Groundhog Day!]
