Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for June 25, 2023

I’m excited already.

…as the screen door hit me on the way out.

Good thing I have an action figure of Vlad to cuddle with.

I’m just here for the cognitive dissonance.

There must be some reason I stick around…

What’s that little green thingy decorating Ms. Buzzkill’s neck?

Rose Chafer?

Decorative “life-clock” crystal?

Second generation surveillance pickle?

I suddenly find myself inside an eight ounce tumbler, sealed in by a card of some sort, and moving toward a window.

Roses are red

Violet are blue

You are my one.

Now I have to say

I love you and will pay and pay.

Wow. That’s either projection or something else delusional. Don’t tell me where to go, Ms. Prissy. I’ll take my emotional nourishment where I have always found it—here and in “The Lockhorns.”

…testing testing is this thing on?…

… a was…

…or a were?…

…the Cleveland Guardians are…

…the Cleveland Guardian organization is]…

…and what exactly is going on with today’s border?…

…is that writing wrongs on the top & bottom?…

… I am now emotionally invested in today’s Frog Applause…

…just like every other lame day in my life…

…not true…

…not true…

…just this week Frog Applause and its creator were very kind to its fans…

…[or is it was?…

…I never know …

…I mean is the Father, Son & Holy Moses a [ ‘is’]or ‘are’…

… a was…

…and what exactly is going on with today’s border?…

…is that writing wrongs on the top & bottom?…

… I am now emotionally invested in today’s Frog Applause…

…just like every other lame day in my life…

But, but, I need nourishment, no matter the content….I’ll sort it out later as it makes it way to the brain….and other venues

I take you from my wall, inside a plastic cup, and release you to the wild. In the wild, there is food, and sex. Here, there is only death.

Au contraire mon cher! I’m fed up with your vacuous negativity.

Frog Applause is soul food for the culturally starved and satirically challenged. ( It’s also applesauce for the comedically lame! )

Lame. As it is supposed to be here.

HaHa and La-De-Dah …!

( navel, navel, navel )

Breatharians are laughing at this. They think you all are trippin’ daisies.

Get it? There’s always Prahna. Prahna. Because they don’t ingest food.

Emotional nourishment is where you find it. Whether or not you find it in Froglandia depends on your emotional metabolism.

Is that a mood choker, or are you just happy to see me?

Thanks, Ma. May I have another?

Black-eyed susan, lillies of the valley, and wild asters. I couldn’t see any insects even after I changed my glasses.

If music be the food of love, the band went home half an hour ago.

I didn’t come here to Frog Applause for “emotional nourishment,” you snotty old bitty!

I’m here for the intellectual stropping, sharpening up my wit, and for the fun of reading (and sometimes deciphering) the witty Comments of my fellow Froglandians. We are a sturdy breed, and do not need to be sternly misguided by the Uncomprehending….
