Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for May 07, 2024

There you are!

But is she line-caught and sustainable?

Mmmmm, love me a tuna melt.

I’ll stop the Lame and Tuna Melt with you

You’ve seen the Plumage and it’s getting Lamer all the time

Mmm-mmm-mmm, mmmm-mmm-mmm

Oh, Thanks a lot! Here I am, trying to de-fragment my mental hard drive — and another silly memory bubbles up from deep in my memory stew — this one from a short ditty in one of my early piano lesson books:

.

“Tuna fish, tuna fish

Sing a song of tuna fish.

Tuna fish, tuna fish

It’s a favorite dish.

Every body loves it so

From New York to Kokomo.

Tuna fish, tuna fish

It’s a favorite dish!”

Originally erected at StarKist Quay just after the war, the tower became the focal point of a massive uproar when local fishing captains deposited the first haul of tuna in it to protest plummeting market prices. Over the years, as more and more tuna was deposited, the practice became ossified into local tradition. Now, the only problem is gulls, terns, plovers, jackdaws, crows, and magpies, whose buzz-bombing habits remind everyone of Tippi Hedren.

So, Veronica, what ya want to do up here on the tuna Tower?

…Oh, Archie, why watch the submarine races of course…

Chicken of the sea.

Oh I know you’ll be there.

Should I bring all the cats along, too?

Some are too scared to climb the Tuna Tower. They’re the Chickens of the Sea!

Something smells fishy in here.

My first thought. DO NOT say a single thing. Smirk a little, maybe.

Frog A-pause … interesting scribbling going on here. Tuna in later …!

It appears that she’s meating herself in the Tuna Tower.

What happened to her arm? Has she been dating George the Animal Steele or something?!

Semi-naked old men. That will make the eyes hurt.

Sorry, Charlie.
