<\/B>“Tell me now, then, is it your
\nshadow,
You’re seeking, Punxsutawney Phil?
If so, you’d best be looking
\npoorly,
Else we’re stuck with the full winter’s drill.
“Follow the modus op of that
\nslacker
Finnegan Seamus Patrick Dougherty
(Who thumbed his nose at enslavement to
\nduty)
And hoist a few at my birthday pougherty.
“There’s be shadows aplenty, I
\npromise you:
Stephen and Molly, both in accord
With Leopold Bloom — going to
\nBlazes;
I promise you, boyo, you won’t be boared.”<\/I>
