Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for October 05, 2018

All I can think of is, Hat in Hand and groveling, is like Butt in a Sling and singing the blues.

Forswear the head covering of shame, for the tassels are too long and they are just the wrong shade of puchre

The gum leaf skeletoniser caterpillar (Uraba lugens) wears a strange kind of hat, but has no hands.

I’m seeing sort of an issue with those tiny limbs and hats.

Seems like you’d have get down pretty low, physically, to grovel before a caterpillar. Like knee-high to grasshopper, only not the same.

No need to doff, just touch the rim. Worms your way out of too much cordiality on a busy day.

Answering that question will be quite a trick.

As the worm turns.

What’s a hat? (Something that can be held in hand) … What’s a hand? (Something that can hold a hat) … What’s a hat? (Stop talking) … What’s talking?

GOOD QUESTION ….

A Rock and Roll song by Del Shannon, Hats Off To Larry. A good deed by Larry is the reason Del sings hats off to him…

“I haven’t had a good grovel and beg in years” said the banker.

The pre-pupal stage of life can be a stressful time and often causes one to lash out with unrealistic expectations; what with all the foreboding of the unfathomable darkness to come, the cramped cocooning, the complete dissolution of being and metamorphosis into god knows what. You will often find them on street corners, tilting signage like a lop-sided windmill, shouting at fear as if it is knowable, lamenting the loss of lame. Lets hope the Angel of Grace can save us.

Caterpillar shed her skin to find a butterfly within.

Yes. It is too much to ask. You’re a frickin’ short-lived caterpillar, not the high priestess of lame!

—Although one does speak for the other. It’s a meta thing, not at all lame, really….

Yesterday 75 comments, today not even 20 comments. Was today a roundup of Froglandians with arrest warrants or something? What happened? Was today’s FA too lame or not lame enough?

I blames the politics.

Crooked liar Trump the traitor got an allowance from his daddy, after his daddy died Putin bailed him out. Trump sees Putin as a father figure.

A silk or wool hat?
