Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for September 14, 2016

Being. And becoming.

Misinterpret it just once and you’re marked as a stalker.

Papa was a rollin’ stone.Wherever he laid his hat was his home.And when he died, all he left us was alone."

Papa Was A Rollin’ Stone—The Temptations

I’ve been tempted by all of these evils at one time or another, except breathing. I plan to wait until my last and only breath for that one.

Thankfully, they’re not waving.

Life is not the amount of breaths you take.It’s the moments that take your breath away.

A breath can be like your bellybutton……An inny breath,An outty breath.

Coughing,

which can lead to pneumonia..

Will I be safe if I carry on sitting breathlessly?

I’m tempted to breathe right now.

…ing.

Reproducing is a sin.

As Oscar Wilde said, I can resist anything but temptation.

If them women don’t want to tempt us men folk,they shouldn’t wear such revealing clothes.I can see their hands and necks!

Flatulence is very tempting.

Summarized as “The World, the Flesh and the Devil”. Mostly the Flesh.

I object, Sisters, to some of that strong, off-color language you are using! You are leading us astray!Tempt not the Wrath of the Lord! Sister Teresa of the Lame may mock you publicly….

Hey! This is Teresa’s schtick. Nobody does lame like Our Lady.

Nope, won’t work today.

Lead us hot into temptations, and beleaguer us with evil, amen.

If I’d known this is where we could send questions to Teresa, I would have written here.http://blogs.gocomics.com/2016/09/hot-pitch.html

Napping,

which can lead to feeling refreshed..

It took me a minute, but I finally figured out the connection between INGSOC’s comment: “which can lead to pneumonia…” and Rotifer Thalweg’s: “You’re deplorable”.

Thankfully nothing about thinking lame thoughts.

Oh yeah! It was electricSo perfectly hecticAnd the band started leaving’Cause they all stopped breathing..Ballroom Blitz—The Sweet

Washing? Dusting? Polishing? Cooking? (northing housecleaning is listed.)

Nothing, not northing.
