Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for June 28, 2018

This is downright emal*

*like “lame” but even less so ….

Yerp, ah reckon so.

Prey, backwards…

Stand still with it.

And here I thought that ridiculous floppy thing on your head was a YERP.

By the way, Daylight Savings Time, is Spring forward, Fall back… not Spring, upside-down clock, Fall, other side up clock.

The sort of thing that was charming and fun the first couple of times you heard it.

BERP, oops sorry, that was a burp..

Turning clocks upside down is such a subversive act that you better dress like a ninja to do it. Now I’m trying to figure out how making up strange words subverts the Established Order.

Yuper!

YERP!

‘Cause if you say it more than once, people will think you’ve got the yerpies.

Ope!

I say that to my young Padawan all the time.

But when is the right time to say it?

My sthguoht dna syerp are with you.

No “yerp yerp” allowed? Sounds too much like Yupyop, King Aroo’s loyal right-hand man?

Though thy clock be un-righted, ’tis thy vestiture that would lead me to take thee by force of arms wert thou to darken my vespertine door….

Me, I sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world.

Yerp=yes, Nerp=no.
