We talked, then complained.
Now the why about what happened
deserves a reasonable explanation.
Fifteen days seems ample time
for tunneling under his wall of
obfuscation, finally into sunlight.
See the paunchy groundhog,
still afraid of his own shadow.
Tell him no, we’ll have no more
weeks of political winter.
