Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for March 09, 2023

Just the fax Mr. Bear……oh gard Sergeant, I spilt beer on it last night,.

Jeez Louise, put your BEARPAW BOOTS on, cause it’s gettin’ deep in here…

We’ll bear with you secretly until you bare your secret, bear.

Good-bye, cruel world. Too bad you had to die.

It’s not your secret that’ll get you killed; it’s your big mouth.

Many people have such secrets. May they always be safe.

Nikki from Reginald the Vampire has a precise number of secrets that she keeps.

Garry Moore, call your office.

I know a guy who’ll do the job if you do tell!

Bada Bing….Bada Bang…..leave the gun, take the cannoli!

This is how things get started.

I couldn’t bear it.

Never bare your soul to a bear with the bare facts about the right to bear arms. It’s too much for them to bear. They prefer bare-faced lies.

yer scaring me now

Two people can keep a secret- if one of them is dead.

Now try something worth our while, to get our attention.

Remember when Ethel Mermen sang, LISTEN, DO YOU WANT TO HEAR A SECRET…

How Ursa Minor became an Ursa Major target …!

Women like to say, men kiss and tell.

I’m guessing that the secret is NOT that it is Wabbit Season.

Sounds like somebody needs a bear hug.

There is a paradoxical predicament here. If I am to become complicit with you, O Bland Bear, I must know this “dangerous” secret thoroughly. And yet, if I do, then I may become a danger to you or to myself. So, you should/should not tell me your secret! It’s Schrödinger’s Secret!

…we all have our..
