Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for August 31, 2022

The Way, pig, Farmers Almanac’s Way.

Cruel, cruel butterflies. The satyrids aren’t the colorful ones, so they rely on dull satire and mockery.

… butterflies have scales on their wings…

…union butterflies work for scale…

…the downside of knowing artistic spiders…

Little piggy…

Prepare the boneless thick pork chop…

Butterfly the meat because the twane lame must go on. And the fries will get cold if not done sooner.

I’m not completely demoralized, which is what those satanic fascists want, but some days it’s just not worth chewing through the leather straps.

There’s a highway in Arkansas nicknamed the Pig Trail.

Mickey Mantle rookie card Topps, sets record and all time sports memorabilia record too.

Settle down pig. The eye spots are NOT eyes. They aren’t looking at you judgmentally.

Awwww! Poor Piggly Wiggly

Doomed to be chops, roasted, grilled, sautéd, BBQed and especially BACONED!

You should be proud…you’re in a class all your own now! You’re now considered the go-to OTHER white meat!

Wait, I think I see the first frame of a new Fellini film, “Satyricon II, the Hermaphrodite Husk.”

The curse of being a Yorkshire hog … doomed by pudding obsessed butterflies …!

Danged brush feet.

They’re the bane of our neighborhood.

Is this the Froglandian version of When Pigs Fly? When Pigs Flop?

Rejoice, Pig. You are a warm-blooded scavenger, who is able to survive weeks without food, if necessary. You can eat any variety of plant or animal, alive or dead. Though you be surrounded by giants, they will perish, and you will inherit the world. And the moths. You get to keep the moths, too.

Its what they want.

Being weak fliers, they need to get you down first, before they launch the full attack.

Bacon! Bacon! Everybody loves bacon! Pig in PBS loves bacon. The satyrids (or browns) apparently do, too.

Life is tough when you’re a demoralized pig….
