Today Is GROUNDHOG DAY

________________________________________________________________________________________________
 
 
Today, we celebrate 
of Groundhog Day.
 
Today is
February 2, 2022 
 
In shorthand,
we write this date as
2-2-22
 
 TWO
is the only digit needed
to express today's date
—in shorthand—
 
Surely, I repeat myself
on this repunit day
—shorthand for repeating unit
 
On this Groundhog Day,
of Pennsylvania
repeat himself
when he makes 
his weather prediction?
 
Or will his prediction
be contradicted
by 
an upstart groundhog
from Staten Island?
 
Curious minds want to know
but if they are lucky,
they will completely
forget this page by 
tomorrow

  1. I never read your blog before.
    I somehow crossed paths with it on "Wolfram Math World."
    My name is Alicia.

    Come tomorrow, I will probably forget this page
    but I will always remember the movie Groundhog Day,
    starring Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell.
    I watch it every year on the second day
    of the second month.
