Ground Hog Day, Nineteen Twenty-One
Ground Hog Feast
Hotel Weber, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in the Garden Spot of America.
To sleep or not to sleep? That is the question.
Whether 'tis weather-wise thus to suffer
The stings and arrows of a Borean Winter,
Or, by retreating to a cozy corner, burrow, and end them,
To sleep, to hibernate and by a six-week nap
To say we end the backache and the rheumatism
And the hundred ills woodchucks are heir to,
To hibernate! To sleep! Perchance to dream--
Aye, there's the rub! For in that death-like sleep
What dreams may come, eke make me suck my paws,
For who would prophesy and shake and shiver
In an advancing cold wave and storm
When he at once might rest and comfort take
By getting in out of the wet.
