Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for October 13, 2022

Ruh roh.

Who profits?

Troubles are many

They’re as deep as a well

It’s not Froglandia’s problem

And I guess we’re not gonna tell

—Owls, Sweat and Frogs; And When I Tell

Let me guess: the lobsters are on the march and will reach the coast shortly?

Whatever it is they’re binging, I’d like to try it.

These owls look suspiciously like fenceposts. Perhaps that’s because they’re on the fence about letting us in on the drama. In spite of their reputation, it seems unwise.

Never send an owl to do a bear’s job. They barely give a hoot. A bear bears bad news with barely a care, cause he knows he can take you in a wrestling match.

These seem to be very low-flying owls…

Bad News is all too easy to find, almost anywhere. Two Plank Owls, who might better serve as fencing, play off the traditional black and white dichotomy while trying to tease us.

Here I stand (or sit), unteased!

Tell and on the mt. Go tell_ be a big turtle tale. Ha ha..

Tale Tell Heart under your own owl wings…

White Owl Cigars and Black Owl gives a hoot to hooters. Honk honk brep beep…

Long drawn out comic strip that’s as boring as heck. No Way commenter, leaves everyone in tater diggers and breaks hearts as well.

You might say I have bad news and the wise in owls tells you so.

Hey buddy can you spare an ear or eye or mouth?

After that tease… My dental exam includes full dentures in my future.
