Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for December 22, 2021

He’ll turn the world upside down for your frown.

It’s getting near dawn

When lights close their tired eyes

In my mind I’m going to Carolina.

Can’t you see the sunshine,

can’t you just feel the moonshine?

Ain’t it just like a friend of mine

to hit me from behind?

Yes, I’m going to Carolina in my mind.

It’s not warm when she’s away either.

Back of my neck getting dark and pretty..

Cat and Fiddler on a hot tin roof…

Roosters crow

The Winter Soulsis make the Moon a bigger dark side..

Instead of the sunshine, my focal point is 50 shades of grey.

This is your official Space Captain break …!

Ten comments? What the crap? This can’t be the FA page.

At first I thought this was a poster for a re-re-re-re-release of “Nosferatu,” but that thought didn’t have a prayer for being right.

Say aloud four times:

“O wah tagoo Siam.”

All will be revealed.

Ah, the mushroom treatment.

The best plumage comes from dark places.

Must be time for the Annual Tanning Bed Festival in the basement at Little Sisters of the Lame! Bring your own cocoa butter!

Moonshine is the sacramental beverage of Froglandia.

…the Froglandia earthquake of ‘77 was so strong that the sun stopped shining and for three nights moved east in the sky…

…the bath mat company turned into a Sears outlet store for several hours …

…(the pricing on the Craftsman chainsaws were a disaster in themselves…

…bikini bottoms became Speedos…

…and the Froglandia Piqua put Hi & Lois on the editorial page…

…don’t get me started on the holy water…

We the Steeple (watch where you point that thing, you’ll put your eye out!)

Darkness falls — just be sure you’re not underneath when it does

You want a midnight mass? I’ll show you a midnight mass… close your eyes and pray.

Inception comes for Smallville.

In the Old Village, we never saw the sun, especially not around the time of Winter Solstice. The streets were in fact narrow alleys, the houses overhung those alleys, and the local weather was always foul, foggy, and (in summers) fetid.

So, I say, welcome to my lame world!

eye guess so

…is it me or does that guy look cross eyed?…

…next on Froglandia Tv Network 7…

…A Very Mary Inception Christmas…

…Sunshine vs. Moonshine: you decide…

…Happy Christmas Eve-Eve…

…Hark! The hairy angel fish…

…fleas on a dog…

…and as a personal comment, saying HaPpy Holidays ruins the Christ in Christmas…

…now shut up so I can watch this umpteenth X-mas show about Santa Claus…

Hark(?) The Dirty Harry(Make My Day Punk) ANGELS Sing.. Gloria (g..l..o..r..i..a.) to the new born King(out in diapers).

Big Head may cast a shadow of doubt… The shadow is a silverreflection

Brightening the day knowing candy canes are made of Elf bones.

Franken-shine

Moon light is the alternate choice! Moon beams, starlight, shimmering ripples on a pond, the beginning glow of evening! Midnight mass, miracles of Christmas, peace to mankind!

Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone…

Da Blog: Would you like some fries with your FA while waiting to have your picture taken …? (especially after being Quarter Pounded by that 1 quarter of FA you don’t get …? )

Surrealist. Reminiscent of de Chirico.

Where is my brain when I need it?

“Wait a minute,” Amy interrupted. “Frogs squeal? And this is all about some marketing program? I’ve never heard any of this. Especially, I’ve never heard of Frogsbane being a siege camp from Frog Wars. I suppose that there is also a Death Star and a Millennial Starbucks involved. It really sounds like you are just making things up now. I have to wonder again if I’m not just losing my grip on reality entirely. Or maybe I used to know this stuff and I’m in one of those Eternal Sunshine situations.”

Nice, simple, sturdy chapel architecture dominates the dark village square. Day 2 is as it should be….

Is that Sister of Perpetual Lame on the church steps?
