Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for November 18, 2020

OK, but this actually rhymes.

Well, I’ll try to get a handle on that. Or come to grips with it.

Too much coffee Marge, starting to crack under the pressure of the Saturday crossword.

…yeah, sound like 2020 alright…

…when I went to the bar I ordered a flight…

…and they all seem to taste alright…

…except the one with orange…

…there…

…I put myself into a corner…

…should I say phone her or boner?…

…aren’t you glad I didn’t say banana?…

I need to vacuum and wash the dishes. Instead I sat and pondered and made some wishes; about the future of the human race, and and where to go to find my place…in it.

If it don’t rhyme, then I ain’t got time.

The trouble with Lim’ricks in French

Is that rhythm, for them, is a wrench;

And as most of the time

They don’t bother to rhyme,

Their Limericks tend to, well, sort of, peter out, really.

I make my verses assonant,

From rhyme I am a dissident.

But a poem is more neat or,

tidy if you watch the meter.

Remember not to grip your decisions so tightly that they are unable to breathe properly.

Okay, everyone, head’s up. She’s correcting our homework. That’s why school makes no sense.

I never thought it was Grace the Face who flung dung.

Hey lady! Take off those distracting glasses….I can’t pin-point where I put my ribbons and accolades just yet. But I promise, when I come across them, I’ll pin them on…..

Are we talking about metaphysical certitudes or garden variety certitudes?

Hypnotic eyes…

Make sure your faculties…

Come with poetry…

Guard with a question mark.

Nice slant rhyme and visual pun.

Wow, I was a fan of Grace the Face before, but now … now I’m a lifelong devoté. It’s surprising she’s allowed to travel unaccompanied.

Half rhymes denote sarcasm.

Orange, silver, purple, month, ninth, pint, wolf, opus, dangerous, marathon and discombobulate; these are a few of my favorite things…

Re: blog

Basset- “sorry to have disturbed you.”

Back ‘atcha.

Butt wiping- there is just so much wrong with that ad, I can’t even…and they have the gall to ban people here for lesser offenses…

Elevator- if I had a sharpie, I could have a lot of fun in there.

Scotch Brite- the disclaimer says not to try this at home, but I don’t know, looks kinda fun.

I’ve heard of mystery meat, but mystery shirt? All 300% of it…

The baby looks like mini me, and I thought family public hangings went out of style in the dark ages. Fashion Fart- pretty sure I saw that store on my last trip to Froglandia.

Ad- “government job” is all you need to know.

What a deal, did they leave a doo off of the door- doo doo

I think we can all agree, I’ve said too much…

parsley, sage, rosemary and rhyme

Someone found Vlad!

Golden bath?

Decisions! Always decisions!

Why does everyone want me to make decisions?

Make your own dang decisions and leave me out of it. I have enough to do, questioning my certitudes and givens. And I do not need to flaunt my accolades and ribbons….

Bloody bother!

Somebody looks wide awake.

So many wonderful posts on Frog Blog and no time to comment as much as I’d like. Those sandwiches look amazing.

… I doubt…

…therefore, I think…

…therefore, I am…

…The Great I Am…

…the Mighty Wizard of Oz…

…Gandalf and Frodo walked into a bar and ran into an Albus Dumbledore…

…Baby Yoda…

…The Child…

…ate an egg and the whole internet went all Grace The Face on it…

…The man is clear in his mind, but his soul is mad…

…putting catsup on a Chicago Red Hot?…

…eating a NYC pizza with a fork?…

… localisms …ya don’t go out in Kent after dark when there is a full moon…

…or be out rambling about after 10:00pm…

…or say the govenor…

…the new Pepsi two liter bottle…

…now easier to hold…

…(or so he told his girlfriend in the backseat of his Valiant)…

Yeah, yeah. It was preachy enough yesterday….

Looks like Queen Victoria has started a New Adventure.
