Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for June 12, 2018

King

PUP-PET Sock

Small head, no hair: needs something. Might as well be a crown. (Or a two-pointed hennin.)

I also notice that crown-boy has quite thoroughly filled his diaper.

Dilly-Dilly ….

I’d rather have a hot dog, too.

Crown Royal or a Mogan David aka Mad Dog 20-20 because it bites like one. You Choose

Pets for all the flower-headed people!

He, who now wears the crown, is due for another diaper change..

Feelings run high over at the Habsburg residence.

I thought that the royal portrait artist was paying more attention to the aqua vitae than the painting. That is a day I’ll never get back.

He won, you lost. Get over it.

The King of Marigold was in the kitchen

Cooking breakfast for the Queen

The Queen was in the parlor

Playing piano for the children of the King.

The Dutchess of Kircaldy always smiling

And arriving late for tea

The Duke was having problems

With a message at the local Bird and Bee.

That’s one of the problems with male-line-only primogeniture. Everyone likes pets—of some sort. But not everyone likes a whiny little boy-king. This is the sort of thing that leads to queens-regent or to regicide.

Now, let us consider. Boy-king; dog; cat; velociraptor…. Pets for all!
