That might be the first poem I ever heard. I needed no groundhog to tell me spring was coming, since I knew spring was around the corner when my father would recite this poem. We've discussed it online before, where I was surprised to learn that it is apparently well known throughout the Anglophone world. I'd always figured it was just a Brooklyn thing.
