Happy Groundhog's Day, twenty-twenty-four!  
With eager eyes, we all did explore,  
Punxsutawney Phil, the seer of time,  
Gave us a forecast, oh so prime.

He did NOT see his shadow, so it seems,  
Spring is closer, in our dreams.  
Gone soon, the winter's icy tether,  
All thanks to a rodent's weather.

Yes, science abounds in meteorology's task,  
Yet, for Phil's prediction, we eagerly ask.  
Funny, isn't it, how traditions entwine,  
With forecasts and futures, all align.

So celebrate the coming of spring's sweet call,  
Phil's decree, a shadow's fall.  
Happy Groundhog's Day, let's all cheer,  
For spring's warmth is nearly here!
