only to find out that his name is really ‘al.’

a glimpse into the real story behind the legend.
the groundhog
stays up all night
trying to calculate
exactly when spring will arrive
and is exhausted
when they wake him up
to bring him out
early in the morning
for his official prediction
each february 2nd
on groundhog day.

when out for a night
at a wonderful irish pub
with warm company, warm food, and a warm fireplace
we decided to make the crazy leap
to ask for bread
and were looking forward
to a warm basket overflowing
with fresh, crusty bread
image our surprise
when a single 6-inch slice of soda bread
arrived on tiny plate
to be shared between us
we stared at it for a minute
looked at each other
and amazingly
we were able to eat the whole thing.

before i left the salon
i booked my next appointment
after discussing what services
i’d be interested in
as i walked back to my car
i read the receptionist’s summary
of what i’d requested
stated in two words:
“the works”
i had better plan to be there for a while.
—
“great works are performed not by strength but by perseverance.”

my daughter’s two cats
copy her two art cats
all four posed and looking out her window
perhaps watching for two birds
who might be copying two art birds.
