A Poem for Groundhog Day

Groundhog Acrostic Poem
Gobbling green plants outside my window
Rodent so cute
Oh! How I enjoy watching you!
Undisturbed by the bustle around you
Nibbling away
Delicious plants
Happy Groundhog Day!
Oh, noble rodent and
Godspeed!
I grew up in the country where groundhogs were a common sight in pastures and barnyards. I see them now even in my urban environment--near bridges and in our parks. Along with guinea pigs and beavers, groundhogs are my favorite rodents. While rodents sometimes annoy us by eating our gardens or damming streams in ways that are inconvenient to humans, we should admire their ingenuity and ability to adapt and survive!

This was as cute as the groundhog himself! :) Love it, especially "Rodent so cute" - it's true - sometimes I forget that whole rodent thing because they're just so adorable. Voted up and awesome!
Thank you! This hub has done very well today, although I wrote it just for fun. Thanks for stopping by to celebrate Groundhog Day with me.
Great poem although I have never seen one. The nearest is when visiting in Canada there were a lot of I think prairie dogs. If I am wrong please put me right, but they were so cute.
Thanks for sharing.
I think the western version of the groundhog is called a marmot. Prairie dogs look like small groundhogs.
Never seen one but I thoroughly enjoyed the poem and the photos. What is an "acrostic" poem, btw?
The first letters of each line spell a word--in this case, "groundhog."
Geez, I hadn't noticed that when I first read it :-). Thanks for pointing it out.
