Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for October 13, 2017

I always think marigold trees and lilac bushes are dreamt up by pixies.

It is generally more entertaining than itself?

Is this one of those “multiply zero by anything” cases?

Why did the lilac shoot? Because it had a history.

Fortunately, I keep my shoots numbered, for just such an occasion.

Each individual lilac shoot continues to thrive and grow.. Others that are mentioned, not so much..

Does this mean Teresa wants to turn over a new leaf? Is she getting ready to branch out?

But you’ll never see “Grace the Face” in a Lilac shoot.

The Lilac shoots and leaves.

Likewise, in reference to the records being pressed and sold at the time, Frank Zappa said, “These round things … are boring.”

The applauding frog eats lilac shoots and leaves.

Reminders of the annual meltdown.

Ho hum.

Wake me up when the lilacs are in full bloom.

In other words, I do not dissent from Our Leader’s opinion….

Please don’t shoot the lilacs. Do your target practicing elsewhere.
