Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for November 03, 2023

That’s some sound advice.

I was going to ask for whom the bell tolls but I guess I’ll just go and get stuffed.

To quote the immortal Chuck Berry:

But I stopped off in the vestibuleEvery time that bell would ringCatch me playing with my ding-a-ling-a-ling, ohMy ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling, I want you to play with my ding-a-ling!My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling, I want you to play with my ding-a-ling!

At least he’s playing with his own ding-a-ling.

I don’t know, that doesn’t quite ring a bell.

Tinnitus special.

…once we were at turtle creek …

…I picked up a frog and I shook it at her…

… and she said…

…I don’t like spiders or snakes…

…and that ain’t what it takes to love me…

…so I showed her my ding-a-ling…

…she liked that…

…soon, we were making beautiful music together…

…she would ring my bell…

…ring my bell…

…my belle..

…she was a friend to me when I needed one…

…without her l dont know what l’d done…

…and she could sing…

…even now when I feel lonely and beat…

…I find myself down by Turtle creek…

…watching the river flow…

Ever since I was young lad

Learning magic lore,

A sorcerer’s apprentice

Learning spells galore,

I’ve seen students with promise

But never one with more:

.

That scientific-mind kid

Sure wields a mean bell jar!

.

He’s a bell jar wizard

No denying that,

Dressed in a fur coat

And a funky cone-shaped hat!

the message is clear as a bell.

She could get a job training the bell ringers for the Salvation Army. (We’ll be seeing those people in just a few weeks in my area.)

Or, alternatively, I’ll just hold onto your ears.

“Beldar! Drop the bell, grab the senso-rings, and come to the sleep chamber.”

Chuck Berry folks.

Hey my ding a ling?

Mom what’s my ding a ling?

Aaaa it’s your thumb, a good ole girl will kiss it. Then like a fly to the spider, my heart’s really anticipating a cream pie. Tom Thumb folks, Tom Thumb!

It’s the cutest thing…

Ah — the memories

I have tinnitus from the tintinnabulation of your bells, bells, bells!

No one is offended by the carillonneurs chiming in with their ringing endorsements of lame. The ding-a-lings at the Froglandia Bathmat Factory & Bellfry soundly approve.

Use cotton wool.

Which always seemed to me like a contradiction in terms.

If I had a bell, I’d hammer it in the morning, evening, and all over the land o’ lakes … until the cows come home and all that stuff …!

( CaFfEiNe! )

Could I use your hat?

She has a ringing in her ears. More like a… ding-a-ling.

:D

Hello, Teresa. Thanks for welcoming me to the GoCreators group, and for introducing me to your work!

Try your elbow.

doorknobs are cheesy

This is why we discourage cell phone use at the party hat store.

Try “Bang Bang Lulu” instead.

GONG Bangla

What’s the difference between a ding-ling and a ding-dong?

Deaf by ding-a-ling!

Curt, but to the point, just like your conical headgear.

Acknowledge the Master! And sing along, in froggy chorusing! https://tinyurl.Com/ys5j7w7v
