Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for March 31, 2023

It is good to know that the opponents were properly screened.

Does everything have to be interdimensional?

The HVAC unit under the window shuddered, paused, and resumed with a pocketa-pocketa-pocketa.

He could always make time for spooky spare monster ribs.

I fight with a raccoon who hangs upside down on my “squirrel proof” bird feeder and eats the bird’s safflower seed at 2:00 a.m.

Pig, Sow, and Hog, the other white bird meat. Humans come in meat too. We are buried as a raw meat or some meatballs, and meatheads.

Bow and arrow guy on a standing chair rocked around. Must be part of a dear stand out in the country. The parlor could serve pizza and do haircuts.

Thus be a pizza, beauty parlor.

Poop going through a screen..

Script for a Hee Haw Show.

Your youth is a mask but it’s not made to last

For we all have a past to out run

When the mask comes undone

And we race on and on

Through the fiery portals of hell…!

Go and tell all your friends

That you’ve witnessed the end

Of the World in a Dream…

‘Ghost of a monster pig!?’ I believe this man may be misconstruing something… Perhaps he’s seeing Cupid, fully grown, still carrying about his symbolic bow and arrow!!

There’s a ghost of a chance, you’re hopping and wishin for a slab of thick meaty bacon…

It’s obvious that this guy has been infected by the Chinese Green Scribble-20 virus … some say it it wasn’t screened adequately at their WooHoo virology lab for gain-of-feng-shui purposes …!

What did he do in his non-spare time that was more important than the swine ectoplasm priblem?

Monster Pig going on in a Funeral Parlor.

Not impressed. If you’d open your pinch-purse and spring for some new-and-improved screens for your parlor, plus a few charms, and maybe even an incantation or two, the Monster Pig Ghost would cease to haunt you!

Or, call Ghostbusters….

Looks like I picked the wrong day to miss GoComics.

…we all have our dreams to hold on to…

…but that’s not what I’m holding on to at the moment…
