Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for June 17, 2021

Sticky Shadows with tar and feathers Voices could be a con?

They’ll fly up from behind and peck you.

When is a shadow not sticky? High noon? Midnight? If Frog Applause was a breakfast cereal, this is what it would look like. No, those little black things aren’t raisins. Once you’ve had a bowl, you definitely want to git up and go.

Among other places, they also breed on marsh edges, but Froglandians need not worry as they only primarily eat seeds and insects … just another tweety bird with minor fecal plumage …!

A rose by any other name… I don’t think Shakespeare had ever been to Froglandia, but I do think he would have appreciated the tragedy and the lamedy. Legend has it that the smell of Froglandian roses wafting on a summers eve breeze is so intoxicating, it is not unlike the sirens song. Hence the local custom of wearing a clothespin on the nose. Others say it is just the awful smell emanating from the Bath Mat Factory.

For shadows not to stick, you must lift off. Just ask a territorial rose finch. And don’t let her filch any more roses!

Who you gonna call? Finchbusters?

Nice!

I’ll never get that song out of my head.

The Finchstones

Shadows that were sticky might cause my Rose to flinch, but they’d never entrap a crafty territorial rosefinch!

Now, shoo, all of you!

Go git your finger picking paws off the merchandise.

Sorry to let the wind go otta your sails. Go blow.

“Chitosan” sounds like something Tonto would call The Lone Ranger during a poker game.

I was just watching a little wren. It knocked a bug out of the air, followed it to the ground, and chomped it down. Quite cool.
