Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for February 09, 2022

He’s got the cutest little dinghy in the navy.

Not to be confused with a ding-a-ling.

Aw, you’re my favorite dinghy

…there’s a bag of grain, a fox and a chicken…

…where was the last place you remember seeing it?…

…I don’t see the eleven button on the phone…

…rrrr slap slap slap…

…rrr slap slap….

…Australian for beer…

…Bart Simpson prank calls the sheriff…

…but he did not prank call the deputy…

Charon had to borrow it for a quick run across the water. Nobody you know.

The old girl ran around as Missing Beth . Her to mom was Miss Beth.. anyway the Mr Kissing and the boys are playing all night long. Beth I love you..

When I was a kid living on the East coast close to a marina, all the boats of course had names, many of them punny or clever. Even some dinghies had names; one neighbor family called theirs “Dinky Walker,” because that’s how one of their young children pronounced “drink of water,” and well, Why Knot? The one that killed me as an 8-year-old was named “Plop.”

“Do you remember where you last left it? You might have to retrace your steps from the last few days.”

You see, people make the most inane suggestions when you say you’ve lost something. Not even the 911 operator can help in this case, I’m afraid.

There’s nothing worse than losing your dinghy! It becomes a part of you after so many uses…why, it even blows up on its own at times….

My favorite ice cream .,… A double decker from Baskin Robbins.. who is the robber?

My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling

I want to play with my ding-a-ling

" I’ve got a little bitty dinghy … "_________ The Problematic Solution (the Dinghy song ) from Something’s Afoot musical

Didn’t mama warn you that’s what would happen if you played with it too much?

Your call is very important to us, please remain on the line … you are ringy dinghy number one …

(the loneliest since the last … and before the next)

Very concerning

Time to fire up the Zodiac and the radar.

All hands on dick!

ALL YOUR DINGHY ARE BELONG TO US

Dear God, hope you get the letter and

I pray you can make it better down here

I don’t mean a big reduction in the price of beer

But all the people that you made in your image

See them starving on their feet

‘Cause they don’t get enough to eat from God

I can’t believe in you

Dear God, sorry to disturb you but

I feel that I should be heard loud and clear

We all need a big reduction in amount of tears

And all the people that you made in your image

See them fighting in the street

‘Cause they can’t make opinions meet about God

I can’t believe in you

Did you make disease and the diamond blue?

Did you make mankind after we made you?

And the Devil too!

Dear God don’t know if you noticed but

Your name is on a lot of quotes in this book

And us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look

And all the people that you made in your image

Still believing that junk is true

Well I know it ain’t, and so do you

Dear God

I can’t believe in

I don’t believe

I won’t believe in heaven or hell

No saints, no sinners, no devil as well

No pearly gates, no thorny crown

You’re always letting us humans down

The wars you bring, the babes you drown

Those lost at sea and never found

And it’s the same the whole world ’round

The hurt I see helps to compound

The Father, Son and Holy Ghost

Is just somebody’s unholy hoax

And if you’re up there you’ll perceive

That my heart’s here upon my sleeve

If there’s one thing I don’t believe in

It’s you

Dear God

What’s at the end of Moby Dick?

A whale of a time.

I think we’re going to need a bigger boat.

Pardon my Dinghy Distain. But did you see the picture of Putin’s superyacht that was abruptly moved before repairs were finished from Hamburg harbor to Kaliningrad (perhaps to avoid sanctions)? https://tinyurl.com/ydcqvtsb

Now, that’s a boat worthy of a 911 call if missing!

Sounds like you’re up lame creek without a paddle, er, dinghy.

Even the oars are gone.

…where’s there’s a Schitt’s Creek…

…there’s a paddle…
