Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for November 29, 2017

Frog apause…do good or croak…

I’ll build a stairway to paradise…

I love to do it on a staircase.

Isn’t all d0ugh-goodery coerced?

By the end of the day, things seemed to have sorted themselves out. There weren’t any new incidents to consider. The weirdness of math class was pretty much forgotten. I still felt like an observer in my own life, however, sort of like a passenger. I expected that the standard growth phases of people my age would turn out to be the thing of it, that I was experiencing chemical changes that had an effect on my perceptions as hormones came online from the endocrine system. We’d had it drilled into us repeatedly. “Just nature. Nothing to worry about.”

You can always tell when it’s close to the end of the pay period – She doesn’t have enough of the same font to do an entire cartoon until the monthly GC royalty check arrives and She can afford to stock up on supplies again.

Stop and pay the toll before ascending. Is that coerced do-goodery, or highway robbery? Is there a difference?

Yes, there are two paths you can go by,

but in the long run

There’s still time to change the road you’re on.

Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow,

and did you know,

Your stairway lies on the whispering wind…

A twelve step program to do-goodery.

She may not be the best, but she’s better than good.

She’s better off with DRAMATIC pauses than PREGNANT ones !

Focus!

And that’s…. the truth.

Coerced do-goodery is still do-goodery, which is still good, right?

The godfather’s respect is a sacrifice too.

Reflexive whataboutism.

It’s the Story of Our Times.

Except that some of us assiduously avoid Do-Goodery and prefer the dough-bakery elements of daily drama instead with our coffee….

And that’s the nudes from Lake Woebegon…

Please remain seated, since household chores inside are current and up to date..

What is that on her lap? A toupee?
