Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for June 28, 2024

…it’s like getting blood from a turnip…

…or water from the fountain of youth…

…because there’s no crying in Frog Applause…

…there’s no tears of a clown…

…‘cuz no one knows he’s crying…

…No one knows he’s dying on the inside…

…and no $%/^€ ratcoon is gonna tell me otherwise…

…24 and so much more…

..live alone in a paradise…

…and putting up a parking lot…

…who’s wife was turned to salt…

…and who’s daughters turned to Pa’ …

…because they knew Pa’…

…in the Biblical way…

…which proves they dropped the A-bomb and the F-bomb…

…because they weren’t hospitable…

…nor kind to strangers…

…Frog Applause taught me that…

…at the Bathmat associates safety meeting…

…(they like to notch it up a peg)…

…on the last day before the 4th of July shutdown…

It’s Friday and it’s payday. No salty tear drinking trash panda is gonna harsh my mellow.

There has GOT to be a marketing tie-in for an electrolyte enhanced energy drink here.

Mine is probably tinged with the slight aftertaste of disappointment from higher expectations.

I can’t supply any tears, but if we get any more pollen in my area, my runny nose might help fill that glass.

You think that if you throw us a bone with dishonourable mention we’ll keep coming back for such abuse? Yeah, probably.

Canned laughter, canned music, canned fruit, … and now canned tears! What’s next? Canned farts?

not me ;+)

Let’s just call it Coon-Tang …!

I don’t believe I’ve been adequately compensated for my tears from being sad and neglected. Call my lawyer and my accountant! Call my lawyer/accountant if it’s the same person.

Drinking Salty Frog Applause Reader Tears is bad for my blood pressure.

With trace amounts of 11 vital minerals.

Powdered donuts go well with that, Moochimal!

A dearth of Little Lame Letters will do that.

I’ve got tears in my ears

From counting all the beers

I drank to forget about you
