Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for June 22, 2022

…I am reading 5 books…

…six…

…6 if you count The Bible…

…what Sue Richards says…

…Page Turner…

..the new Froglandia Tv star…

…was booked to appear at the library…

…I’ve read War & Peace, twice…

…best epilogue ever…

…but there were two…

…I am writing a book…

..I am neither good enough to write a story…

…or talented enough to create a poem…

…so I’ve combined the two…

…I am calling this long work…

…a stoem pory…

Read read read or dragonflies will attack attack attack.

Program note for continuity engineers:

While the dragonfly is sometimes called the mosquito hawk, no falconry permit is required if they appear in your yard.

Also, they do not mark their territory.

How they function as hat pins is yet to be decided.

I have a solar powered LED yard knick-knack that has a clear plastic dragonfly capping the color-changing LED. It has, so far, shown no tendency toward explosion. But that may only be because I haven’t thrown it, with its NiMH, into a fire. That seems like a bad idea, even if it wasn’t listed on the safety precautions on the packaging.

Read into multiplying by three and multi tasking is saving daylight.

My life is Books,books, books

Visiting libraries is all it took!

To get me out they get the hook

So I had a very short look….

Until one day a sharp pain in my eye

While pulling my little red wagon

I was attacked by a huge fly called a dragon.

The patch ain’t bad but now it takes me twice as long to read my books…

yes

Hint: if you pee on a book, it’s allll yours ….

Stung through the brain and you’re to blame

Honey you give reading a bad name

Madam Dragon the ball is in your eyes and brain.

…good song if you have twenty minutes…

I read, I read when it’s late at night

I read, I read when I’m on a flight

I read, I read on my device

I read, I read with a drink on ice

I read, I read when they cut my hair

I read, I read, when I’m on a tear

I read, I read while I watch the game

Hard copy, soft copy, just the same.

That’s why my eye itches. It’s been bugging me for a while now.

Reed red. The eyes have it.

Seems the letters r, e, a and d should combine to form more than three words, i.e., dare, dear and read. Three, sure. Stupid simulation.

I am with the notion of reading. But I am uncomfortable with the seemingly concomitant dragonfly-through-the -eye. That seems like a too-unpleasant obstacle to my reading!

Get your own books, and fly by, dragonfly!

Reading via dragonfly-assisted traumatic osmosis is rare, though occasional. The practiced few find it most efficacious .

Yes, yes i do.

Two live samples of Smallpox exist, one in the United States at the CDC in Atlanta, and one at the Vector Institute in Koltsovo, Russia.
