Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for November 07, 2011

Some poets are sincere, sir.

@ S H you are F before you are G (from yesterday)Wanted to change my avatar after Halloween but couldn’t decide, so I put this 1947 test pattern

until I find one I like. Not very imaginative, so…

Please Stand By

Send it to Vlad. Theresa likes turtles. Bet she’d post it on the blog.

How weird. I was checking out some stuff on the blog yesterday and saw that test pattern. Cool! http://obituarytypo.blogspot.com/2011/10/test-patterns.html

Cynicism is hardly a good foundation for love poetry, Vladimir Ilyich! —Although you do bear much guilt.

Ignorance is bliss. Maybe it’s best that you not see Vlad’s fist before it meets your face. I only have a permanent limp, and I got off easy compared to some of the other guys around here.http://obituarytypo.blogspot.com/2010/05/bodyguard.html

<a href=“http://obituarytypo.blogspot.com/2010/05/bodyguard.html”vlad. I hope this works.

Haggis… Here I am suffering through the night with a Colonoscopy prep, starving to death, and you must torment me with visions of my favorite delicacy. Tomorrow I shall avenge myself on a steaming bowl of menudo, since my supply of fresh haggis is limited.

Poetry…when it just appears…seems to presage.When I find myself with words describing an interesting woman, she usually appears…and becomes more interesting, too…

@Panther: I believe that’s Plas Johnson on tenor.

All my life I’ve felt guilty I spent my undergrad years studying poetry. I still write on foolscap because I can’t afford electricity.

Was Saturday’s strip a rerun “classic?” “Adorable pawns of satan” sounds familiar.

Ah, Nadezhda! Darling wife Nadezhda!With your heart as warm as Siberiaand your love of Bolshie minutiaDo you wonder I searched all RussiaTo find a mistress like Inessa?

Any other kind? Um, poetry to get laid.

Love you honeyYou have no peer.You love my money,I love your rear.

Put that turtle picture in your picture file. Go to your GoComics profile, and click on change avatar. Hit the browse button, and go to your picture file. Click on your turtle picture, click on open. Then click on submit, and that should work. Make sure your picture is in jpg or gif format.

Vlad is Teresa’s boyfriend/bodyguard He is a massive Russian with a short temper.

Love is: Poetry in motion.

Send the picture as an attachment to Vlad, and she will get it.

If the poets are male, then all they really want is to get laid…and make a good rhyme. Sure, that too…
