[For Groundhog Day ...]

From "The Story of Woodchuck" by Ted Pelton:

The sportsmen would travel
in cars along the roads
so all the people had to do
was put out their heads
or stand up out of their holes
and the sportsmen
would shoot them from the road
with rifles
To die
when all you want
is to look out of your hole
is a bad thing
So God said
I will make someone
to go down there
and fight for the people
But then he made
Woodchuck
as if it were not
really all that important
to him
what happened

[...]

He carried his penis
in a box
which in some ways
was an advantage
and in some ways
a disadvantage
Sometimes when Woodchuck
needed to be free
of his penis
instead it would be there
in its box
waiting

From "The Good Farmer and the Bad Farmer, A Story of Woodchuck" by Ted Pelton:

On Woodchuck's hip was his bag and inside the bag were the remains of the box that held Woodchuck's penis smashed in the previous evening's avalanche of firewood.

The penis had been missing ever since.

Woodchuck was likely concerned about what he would find when they arrived at the home of the good farmer and his beautiful daughter.
