Tribute To Mr. Ground Hog Here’s to dear old Mr. Wood Chuck, And a wise ole animal is he; Who will come out February second For his own dear shadow to see. And if he happens to see it, Then right down in his hole he’ll stay; For there’ll be six weeks more winter, Before he will come out, they say. But if it happens to be cloudy, So no shadow of his can be seen; Then Spring will soon be ushered in, And the grass will be getting green. Here’s to the Sun Prairie Wood Chucks, Here’s to their Ground Hog supper, too; I hope they will have another In the year Nineteen Fifty-two. I’m glad to write this tribute, And hereby dedicate the same; To that ancient weather forecaster, And Mr. Wood Chuck is his name. Monroe, Wisconsin February 2, 1951
