It’s February third today,
and in my den I plan to stay.
I’m scared to venture out my door!
My poor, old nerves can stand no more!
On the second, yesterday,
I thought I’d go outside and play,
so from my den I happily walked —
the scene before me left me shocked!
Fifty cameras, maybe more,
flashed as I walked out my door.
“He sees his shadow!” were the cries!
I just saw spots before my eyes.
Now spots are gone, the people too!
T’was awful what they put me through!
The folks round here are dumb as rocks,
cause I’m no groundhog — I’m a fox!
The Lonely Meatball 
LOL!!!🤣 You got me on that one.

You can watch Balzac Billy on a live stream video this year on February 2nd!
In other news, I’m reading this post on February 1, but your WordPress date for this post says it is February 2. Are you posting from somewhere half a world away where it is already tomorrow?

No. I just post as soon as the website changes the date. I’ll have to check out Billy.

Very good one– and it is long past due, for animals just don’t get enough respect.

Thank you for your kind words. I wrote this one years ago so it kind of surprised me too as I’d forgotten about it. It was just sitting in a notebook.
