Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for September 12, 2020

Dude, pipe down and don’t get all keyed up. “Amateur” originally meant you do something for the love of it, not profit.

He used to be a professional organ donor but he had to give it away.

Here, I shall erect my organ, and there, loft my choir! Glory to Frog on the Highest!

When it comes to building his organ, he’s a pro.

Just as the person who represents himself in court has a fool for a client, the organist who plays an organ of his own creation…

Sorry, I lost my train of thought. This sheet music is a bit distracting.

Is this just general guidance, or is there a section on the specifics for constructing a spleen?

Asking for a friend (who needs a spleen).

Beer drinking to the organ music. A liver not a killer.

Eeeeeh! Your mothers mustachio…ya see one organ, you see them all….this didn’t strike the right cord for me…..All pipe dreams!

Quit bitchin’ (Organ-Building for Experts is NOT ɪʟʟᴜsᴛʀᴀᴛᴇᴅ)

… if you are a professional doing a great job and love what you do…

…but get let go for reasons that your bosses need more golden parachute money…

…are you suddenly an amateur?…

…I was listening once to Book Nook(sp?) with Vic McEwan…

… he was interviewing an ancient poet…

…and he asked her…

…what advice would you give a young poet…

…she replied, that if you really wanted to be a poet, to live like one…

…like it was the most important thing to you…

…would you rather find a job to get a flatscreen Tv…

…or write?…

…you can not serve two masters…

…if it gets in your way of writing…

..do without it…

…we at McDonald’s feel that the new breakfast Big Mac with sausage patties and our new spicy special sauce…

…is worthy of giving up your dreams…

…now only 2 for $3.00!…

I shouldn’t tell you how big my organ is.

Anyone know how to build a couple of lungs?

So, does he like Pizza?

So close, Mark. Could have been an Organ making wicki.

Does that look like Albert Speer to anyone else?

Well, gee dad, Franz Rudolph Wurlitzer had to start somewhere … but he was German, (if that’s germane at all) … CaFfEiNe!

Build? You can grow one with careful handling. See a professional for special details.

Is Mark related to Kelly, founder-proprietor of an amazing Wicks enterprise in the town where I used to work? Go ahead, say “no”; I dare ya!

Trouble with amateur organ-builders is that they often have plans bigger than any available space in their miserable little hobbit-huts. Oh, well; boats in bottles and all that….

The parts warehouse has everything you need for your pro, semi-pro, and amateur needs.

I’ve been an organ grinder for most of my life. Some call me a pro, some an amateur, some call me unsavory things; but ever since my monkey started dressing up as a frog and reciting Frog Applause punch lines, boy has business really picked up.
