Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for June 29, 2021

Scarlett knew how to cobble together an expression.

There will be another. A hopeful thought that doesn’t even need hope to fulfill.

Ear today, plumage tomorrow.

I’m going to live through this and when it’s over, I’ll never be corny again.

Does this mean we’ve established a trend?

Twotomorrows ago Dick Tracey and Bunny sat in the smokey bar wondering what just happened. The days seemed to run together in the seam of Bunny’s short skirt.

There is a kernel (or two, or three or…) in that statement.

Kernels of Truth — in Froglandia, they are something to chew on … especially during the Famine Times of which we never speak…

Of all the days I have woken up to, this is one of them.

Nope. Tomorrow will be today and a day later it will be yesterday.

Please remember that the days go on forever, but you will not be required to attend them all.

There would have been a time for such a word.

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,Creeps in this petty pace from day to dayTo the last syllable of recorded time,And all our yesterdays have lighted foolsThe way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor playerThat struts and frets his hour upon the stageAnd then is heard no more: it is a taleTold by an idiot, full of sound and fury,Signifying nothing.

very clever & optimistic!

…I no longer have to wear a mask…

…so such truths no longer need to be said every day…

…but the Bible mentions corn 102 times!…

…though maiz is a new world product…

…it seems those Mormons learned lessons …

…more or less…

…ons…

…but they won’t let them write, ‘Froglandia’ on their airplanes…

…because they call it obscene…

…when we all know it is ‘lame’ …

…after classic coke came back after the failure of new coke…

…(why not just add new coke as another product and keep classic coke?)…

…classic coke came back with no sugar…

…but corn syrup,instead…

…a maiz ing…

…but true-ish…

…soft corn…

Speaking of tomorrow, I’d like to revisit yesterday.

If our Creator ever decides to change the name of Her strip, I’d vote for

Fᴀʀᴛɪɴɢ Aɴɪᴍᴀʟ Cᴏʟᴏʀɪɴɢ Bᴏᴏᴋs

Like sands through the hourglass, so are the Days of Our Lives®.

I think I see why they didn’t use corncobs in hourglasses.

Weren’t corn cobs used in outhouses?

They were softer on tender areas than you might think. Even after toilet paper became available, some people in Western states still preferred corncobs when using the outhouse.

Today is the Tomorrow you worried about Yesterday – Now you know why!

I take it one anon at a time … BOOM …!

So far it’s worked out that way. You never know.

Whoa… deep dude…tte

Ty Cobb smiling ear to ear row to row..

Row, row, rows of corn, decorate the cob. Wearily, smearily, wearily, smearily, to de-fecalize’s a job. Day after day.

There’s a future in the future, and in that future there’s another future. Future presents for your presence.

Universal Wall Mart futureroma. Corn eaters need to apply tomorrow after another tomorrow.

Looking at the hands on the clock face it’s 8pm, 4 hours to tomorrow, and yesterday, and 28 hours to tomorrows yesterday.

All day, every day, a day is a day is a day is a day. We need Special Days. It breaks the monotonous repetition of dreary sameness.

Or, this could be just an aphorism expressing Existential Truthiness….

Today is tomorrow’s yesterday. And yesterday was the first day of the rest of your life. Better get crackin’. (See the corn reference there? Aww, shucks.)

All around the face of the clock

The hour hand would follow

Then at once they all would align

Pop! Goes tomorrow.

This here’s a corn cob koan.

Early to bed, early to rise, makes a person healthy, wealthy, and wise.

Eating the two ends of corn on the cob makes good, good, sense.

The naked cob on the corn? Gee whiz how shall I eat my corn today?

I ear you!

Jimmy Cracked corn but I donut care…

Corn fed cows taste better than grass fed.

Quiet the corn has ears.

Popcorn… Yum Yummy in my tummy.

Sweet Corn.

June 29th is/was National Waffle Iron Day …!

How do you clean your cob? Are you a typewriter, eating back and forth? Or, are you a Ferris wheel, going round and round?

Soon into the pandemic, one day blended into another, to the point one no longer could say whether or not this was Day 2….
