SHOULD HAVE
EARLY SPRING
Unless all signs fail, Alaska shou'd
have an early spring.
Yesterday was ground hog day.
The hog was supposed to have come
out of his hole.
If the hog had seen his shadow, h
would have gone b;ick for another six
weeks.
Well, how could he have seen b;<
shadow yesterday?
There wasn’t ar.y sun.
Conclusion— the hog did not s* e
his shadow, consequently he stajv*
out of his hole and he is roaming
around the hills somewhere looking
for the early spring.
Oh, all right.
Let’er spring.
