Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for June 17, 2015

Bewarewolf’s, silverware…

. . . and of people who charge a high price for a drink from their well.

Especially beware of bumblebee tails.

.. and firing squads (no peeking).

All citizens are cautioned to beware bumblebees telling long-winded tales.Loose mandibles sink dirigibles, you know.

The wind does blow, but thin and hot across the Styx.Solemn shades dance upon the shore to the silent stinging.The network is hosed. Page cannot be shown.

Take this man’s advice to heart. He’s paid dearly for it.

And, yet, is this not itself a cautionary tale?! I like the Flight of the Bumblebee. I like the Green Hornet, too. And stingers. Stingers are good.

But seriously… the internet was down, along with my phone, all on cable, and when it came back I couldn’t get any web pages. I was able to load Frog Applause, though, even though I could not load GoComics.com.It did not load quickly, but it did load.I don’t know how wide the outage was, but it was at 3:00 am, so nobody else was likely to have noticed.They would neither accept my cautionary tale as believable, nor accept that there are bumblebee winds, unless it is Bumblebee Tuna crabs, which I can only imagine must smell quite lovely as they bake in the sunshine.

Say, was you ever bit by a dead bee?

Bit by a bee?Can’t say as I was.Was you?

Bees are actually lousy fliers.
