    Teresa … you HAVE put yourself out there … I, however, just accomplished zilch when I tapped the “continued” arrow … not once, but twice … gawd!

    Teresa, just know you have an army of people who appreciate your work. That is why so many of us posted during your period away. Your perspective is unique and engaging. Although you describe your humour as lame, I, for one, enjoy it greatly (mind you, I am well known for my shocking jokes). Please, see yourself through the eyes of those who visit your page.

    Sister Tee, if you were any other being except who you really are, I would not have any kind words to pass along on this day.

    Don’t underestimate your talents, Teresa. Today’s poem made a bang, not a whimper.

    I wanted to be a poet once. I even applied for an HEO license from Vogon Construction. They said I was a natural. Well, that was the end of that.

    Musical toilets… is that a party game on a Daddy’s Little Princess Cruise ship?

    Stop whining. There’s no Wikipedia entry for comics commenter poetry. If You think You are under appreciated, trying putting some poetification down here and see how fast you can get ignored.

    When nature calls, the holy book is quite useful for any musical toilets reading material location. A house is a human’s castle, and the porcelain throne is a human’s kingdom.. Is Teresa Back Yet, DOH!!

    @ARIANNE

    I swear I remember an ad for a child’s musical training toilet in a Sears catalogue from the early 70s. I think “Pop Goes the Weasel” was one of the tunes.

    Otherwise, musical toilets are popular in Japan, and will play anything you desire, from Show Tunes to new-age environmental “music”. (Set up a fan for the “wind in your hair effect”.)

    For no reason, yeah, no reason at all, I just searched for ‘mad libs poetry’ : About 374,000 results

    Well, ok. The reason was imagining what the overlords thought.

    Probably no connection between May the fourth and falcon and princess, right?

    Just cloud illusions…

    TB – Those of us with little self-confidence, oft label complements as possible lies. Richard-the-truthful knew ye work well and liked it.

    When I put myself out there people screamed at me to get out of the road, that I was blocking progress.

    They called me mundane, but I know I’m just Lame.

    Anyone who has been praised by Richard Thompson has won the highest award of all.

    Put the cannibal animals up against the kite supremacists and see what ensues. In Sue’s Sioux Lakota Dakota.

    Praise from the late genius of suburban D.C., Richard Thompson, is enough for any man or woman or poet of unspecified variety. I shall not say what my Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon relationship with Richard might be, but it is tenuous enough to be foursquare Lame!

    Unsure how much I should rely just on our Interlocutor’s account I have actuellement read the Wikipedia article “comics poetry” and found it predictable, with a barren aftertaste, lacking the zest of any reference to Frog Applause, much less Sister Teresa of the Perpetual Lame, or the devious (or was that deviant?) Froglandians. Once, long ago, for some forgotten reason, I had activated Wiki editorship, but I lack the tools today. And yet I sense the Void, and a cry out of the depths (de profundis). We are Everyman, Noman (see Odysseus and his anticyclopean ruse), Frogman (I salute the great Clarence Henry)….

    Air your doubts Teresa, it is good to get them out of your head. I am guessing you have much more support and people ready to give you loving encouragement, no matter what you decide to do, than you may realize.

    Bad translator used to be one of my favorite digital comic poetry generators, but I guess they are becoming more sophisticated and better at translating because I can no longer get any satisfying results. Sophistication and “advancement” can be a misleading god. Fine with me, I am better served by the blasphemy of Frog Applause anyway.
