Groundhog Day

Mr. Speaker,

Once again on Friday February 2nd
Wee Wiarton Willy will be beckoned.

It will be his very first prediction
Done with fervour & conviction

While he's a rookie in groundhog circles
He'll be far more famous than Steve Urkel

He'll talk to Mayor Janice in groundhogese
And do it all with a glamourous ease

Take Alberta's brown coated Balzac Billy
His prediction skills make him look silly

Or Nova Scotia's Shubenacadie Sam
Whose prediction record is simply a sham

And Pennsylvania's Puxatawney Phil
He can't hold a carrot to our "Wee Will"

I will be there when he comes out of his cage
I'm convinced Wee Wiarton Willie will be the new rage

With his glistening white fur coat
He will instill in Wiartonians eternal hope

When he declares that beautiful thing
There's only 6 more weeks until spring
