Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for September 30, 2021

As opposed too voices outside my self.

And there are various voices involuntarily and voluntary.

Either whisper like a zephyr on a soft Autumn evening or take it outside.

Your inner voice is much too loud.

I know people like this. I have to turn my hearing aids down when I get around them.

ooh… No. Turns out that was my insider voice.

What my barking dog keeps telling me.

Reminds me of the wide mouthed frog…loud and boisterous….

The louder you bellow and roar, the softer and calmer I will respond. As your decibel level increases, mine will decrease. Eventually, you might hear yourself … or not … but I will have succeeded in making a fool of you.

Okay, but your font is still a little large.

SOUNDS LIKE YOUR CELLPHONE VOICE …!

Inside what?

Can you hear me now?

Controled by what? A megaphone blowhorn? Pink headless Ballrena?

Is he really inside?

It comes from inside his body.

My inside voice mostly says; “Back away from the keyboard, nothing useful will come out of that can of worms.”

And they always say speak softly and carry a bug stick…..LOL!

Who’s “they” ?

Hey Harris, who do you like in the 5th race. Your own inside tip.

The call is coming from inside the comic!

Loud noises are annoying. You, sir (I use the term loosely), are annoying. Too much of the color red is annoying.

You wouldn’t like me when I am annoyed….

My inner voice wants out, and is quite adamant about it.

There is an outside chance that he may be inside. I cannot speak volumes about his condition.

It really is like this sometimes.

Inside outside, leave me alone

Inside outside, nowhere is home

Inside outside, where have I been?

Out of my brain on the five fifteen

Out of my brain on the train

Who?
