Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for December 06, 2022

Don’t ever cross a pimento loaf. They never forgive.

Green toes with red nails.

You get dogs gnawing on your shoes while you’re wearing them.

You get a penny for your thoughts.

Penny Lame and Penny Marshall with a Lenny and Sqiggy hair doo. Laverne and Shirley too! The Big Ragu spaghetti sauce with green olives and pimento meatballs.

Ya don’t have to call me Shirley.

…old punch line…

…speaking of loafers…

…how’s your father?…

…Olive in order to get shipped to an island in a box…

…threw away all of Popeye’s spinach…

…now the alien superchamp is beating up our hero…maybe give him some olive loaf…

…or enjoy some of Popeye’s surveillance pickle loaf…

…(though, I don’t know the difference between olive & pickle loafs)…

…maybe pickle only has pimiento and no Olive…

…I am an Olive person …black or green…

…they’re all the same to me…

…even on pizza…

Stinky loafers, that’s what

What is a “pimento” anyway, and how did it find its way inside an olive?

Don’t they squish!? Ah well, even if it means there being squish in my step, bring ‘em on!!

Hey that’s not my bellybutton but the island is a lampshade and the volcan Volkswagen is a glass eye. Please grab my eye not the green olives.(⁠人⁠ ⁠•͈⁠ᴗ⁠•͈⁠).

Love what you’ve done with the room! The 3-D wallpaper is great.

Sounds like a bunch of bologna to me!

I have a pair of penny loafers and I just couldn’t seem to get the pimento to stay in the slot! So I ate one and put the other in my Martini!

leather pimento loafers

Where have all the penny loafers gone?

Long time passing …!

( pennies are on the endangered list, save a penny )

You might go shoeless, but at least you won’t go hungry.

Penny Lame is in my ears and in my eyes

There beneath the brown plumage skies

I sit and meanwhile back

Behind the shelter in the middle of a roundabout

Sister lame is selling poppies from a tray

And though she feels as if she’s in a play

She is anyway

Very lame

Penny olives? When I was in junior high I got a pair of penny loafers. I found a pair of small Austrian coins on the sidewalk. They fit the penny slots perfectly.

That would be an abuse of sandwich meat! Hence, I will not participate in this sham waste of food that gives away its answer to anyone with even the slightest reading upside-down script skills! How lame can this ’toon get?

A better mouse trap? Don’t let your penny loafers loaf. Stalemate or Deadlock, w/tieing up your chess pieces.

…misuse of olive oil will not be tolerated…
