Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for March 12, 2024

Gorgeous artwork.

Bob’s bobbing entailed bobbing Bob’s tail.

I mean this is valid.

Actually he’s on the lamb and the lamb is screaming for him to stop standing on his head.

“the others”

It’s always “the others,” isn’t it?

Yes, they’ll dock you for it. The unkindest cut of all.

Better than a bobbed head, I suppose!

Should have gone to Belzzon® Tail Bobbers!

More likely these are females, back when long tails were the commonly accepted fashion. To bob one’s tail showed a defiance of tradition. F.Scott Fitzgerald portrayed this in human terms in his early short story, “Bernice Bobs Her Hair.”

And, as with any who conceal themselves, he became conspicuous by his absence.

People do laugh at those who don’t conform to certain physical “norms.” Body-shaming is rampant.

He could pull a bobsled. The artwork is charming.

Longing to run with the herd, er, Lacrosse Team.

They broke a broken broke record. Go for broke.

They seems to be a fat record.

Cut it loose wheelying bar and grill.

Only his hairdresser knows what went wrong!

“Bet all my money on the Bob-tailed Nag – Somebody bet on the Bay”

With genetic engineering, maybe we can finally end the horror of cosmetic animal mutilation.

relax. it’ll grow back bigger ;+)

Strong urge to hide and not be seen. I know it well.

badly bobbed makes him distinctive…love the art, Teresa!

I LOVE this drawing, Teresa! It’s perfectly bobbed!

Touching and beautiful.

He’s very sheepish.

That reminds me! I saw a lynx last summer with a nicely bobbed tail. Walked calmly in front of my car and we both stopped. Such a gorgeous animal! Nice drawing, Teresa!

There used to be a bob-tailed squirrel around here. That was a while ago. And all of the frogs are bob-tailed. Toads too!

Forking humans.

… pitchers Rock Hudson, hurling blows at em.

All American Ground Rule, Sliders in The MLB.

Poison Ivy Leagues use of a new twist in,

Baseball ⚾…

Laugh is snot spelled funny knot.

LAF your 4 balls off and 3 strikes, yyoouurr oouutt…

And, ironically, hiding behind the shed got him no tail at all.

It takes gumption to own your bad bob and swim upstream. I hope you find yours. Maybe if you hit your funny bone, it might spark a fire.

“Neigh” …!

— Mr. Ed

Trippers to the rear.

Opening line to an American tale

Is that Teresa in the basement window giving us the finger?

It’s that little souvenir of a terrible year

Which makes me wonder why

It’s the memories of your shed that make me turn red

Surprise, surprise, surprise
