Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for September 08, 2016

A winkle is a small herbivorous shore-dwelling mollusk with a spiral shell. (As in “periwinkle”.)

…WRONG HAT…

She’s thankful that the WABAC Machine is available in order to avoid any awkward situation that ever happens to come up..

You should always try these things out in your head, and really listen to them when you do, before attempting them in real life.

Never talk about your winkle in public.

Bullwinkle and Rocky!

Bullwinkle? Bandersnatch would have been much more Frog Applausian.

A wink, a nod, a slap and tickle… -Just wanna ride my mooooteeeeercycle!!!

You are the juice in my grape, the cream in my puddin’

Should have said she was the ‘tally of my wacker’.

Jay Ward and Hans Conreid agree: being the bull in his winkle would have suited her to a T.

Maybe you shouldn’t have emphasized her “bullish” qualities.

Bad gamblers don’t know how to quit while ahead.

Is this bit of fractured wisdom ahead of anything?

“How do I love thee? Let me count the ways” would’ve been better.Better yet:“I keep a close watch on this heart of mine…”In any case, he should’ve stopped at “…the sun of my sky”.It was all downhill after that, and he hit rock bottom with his winkle. Even “You’re the crease in my pants” would’ve been better.

Hmmm… should have gone with china shop instead of winkle.

Oh yeah… the marshmallow in my rocky road.That could have gone a lot better.
