Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for June 11, 2022

There’s more than you can poke a stick at.

A breath of the blow.

Stickers in the wind.

Pick a shillelagh and strike a shitehawk in the shank.

The sword cane … for those moments when you really want to stick it to someone and get your point across …

I’ll take the niblick.

Sticky pun!

“You’re lean and you’re mean and you’re not too far between.”

—Carl Spackler

Variety is the spice of life.

I want a bright walking stick so I won’t wobble when I hobble and jobble when I cobble.

……also an advantage to plummel an attacker

So watch out!

I learned from somewhere that you turn the handle rearwards if you’re using a walking stick to assist your locomotion, and you turn the handle toward frontwards if you’re using a cane as a walking stick, you know, an accessory to your outward outfit.

This is a stick up!

Must have fired the staff.

When I was a young man and didn’t need them, I had an admirable collection of canes and walking sticks. Now that I’ve reached the age and stage where they’d be useful, I don’t have a single one!

OOOF … the third leg of life in the slowww lane …!

Get a well balanced one with a lead core and a sharp ferrule.

Pick a date to eat your date, but I wouldn’t recommend dating it.

Shall a stick not have a blade hidden within?

For my sword-cane, accordingly, I choose one with a handle adaptable to fencing and the thrust home as I end the refrain.

And so, from left to right, 1 or 3 might suffice. Beware my wounding ways: Not so wide as a barn door nor so deep as a well, but ’twill do, ’twill suffice, ’tis sufficient….

Da Blog: speaking of sticks, great article on old golf clubs … when I read about the “ cleck” being closely compared to the modern day one and two irons, I was reminded of this famous quote by the great Lee Trevino:

“If you are caught on a golf course during a storm and are afraid of lightning, hold up a 1-iron ,,,

not even God can hit a 1-iron.” …!!!

What’s brown and sticky? A stick!
