Groundhog Day Haibun

Groundhog Day, February 2nd does not apply where i live. Here it's the dry season, and any groundhop sitings would have to be at a mas band camp, particularly a children's camp, where masquerade or as we trinis 🇹🇹 say mas costumes are in the making.

However where the weather transforms from winter to spring Groundhog day may be seen to many there as a marker for season change from winter to early spring or not.

If you don't believe that groundhogs can predict the weather, it can still be a fun time to enjoy some groundhog day jokes.:

What's the furriest side of a groundhog? The outside...

Why did the groundhog bring its watch to the bank? It wanted to save time...

When does a groundhog come before a woodchuck? In the dictionary...

Did you hear about the groundhog that drank invisible ink? It's still at the doctor waiting to be seen...

seasons and time zones -

the universality

 of really good jokes

Dragon Fold

He ravaged far villages, he was so mean,

People lost patience and mind.

What can we do they wailed on scene

This really cannot go on

Drought must be stopped. he was so mean,

He must be stopped, and stopped now.

A tiny boy they had treated as unseen

Raised his voice to highest decibels

We must go to Dragon at Mountain Kleen

Exacerbated they all agreed because

Drought, Drought was the demon, he was so mean.

 Spewing puppies?

Treking through the paths at The Wildfowl Trust. Rocky's is anxious to get to the  paperbark tree, to hug the tree, since some of his friends had told him, how soft as velvet the tree trunk was.

Suddenly his mother asks, "where is Rocky?"  Rocky she shouts and Rocky suddenly appears, like out of nowhere.

His mother hugs him and looks at his face for scratches or cuts then spins him around. "Are you okay Rocky?" We thought you might be abducted by aliens, when we didn't see you.

They reach the pavilion and stop to have some refreshments. Rocky says he is not hungry. But after mom's persistent nagging, tries to eat a sandwich.

He retches violently and out of his stomach spews a fluffly little puppy.

"What's happening!" everyone exclaims. "That is not our Rocky". Mom cries out and raises her arms upward in anguish.
