Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for October 22, 2023

Would that make it protumacious?

Apparently, being tumacious is not a valid option. Have one of the AIs whip up a tune and download it to your phone, to be played whenever you believe it is appropriate. Heck, have a whole series of little themes for various events.

Sophie Tucker – “I Ain’t Taking Orders From No One”

I know I’m showing my age, but the first song I thought of was The Who singing “We’re Not Gonna Take It”.

Oooh I got it!

How about a drum roll before and a Bah-dum-tish, afterwards? ☺️

“Boss Of Me” would work…

It’d just snap right back.

Forgive my ignorance of women’s fashion, but do dresses usually have pockets?

Favorite synonym of contumacious: froward …!

( a dyslexic step forward )

It’s the ‘willful’ part that impresses me.

I had one, but apparently, it was exactly the same as The Beverly Hillbillies jingle, so I was sued every time I became contumacious. Which of course made me even more contumacious.

Perhaps you just need a foreshadowing leitmotif rather than the whole of your theme?

FA always makes me learn something new everyday!

Contumely, an important part of interpersonal relations.

Something like this, Teresa?

We all do

I have music accompaniment wherever I go, though unfortunately, most people don’t appreciate the melodic notes of my toot flute.

…since my work is pretty mindless I sometimes find myself singing whatever pops into my mind…

…one day I found myself singing to myself the Patty Duke Show…

…I thought that it was all in my head but…

…next thing I knew …

…at break I found on my phone…

…I found 23 things you didn’t know about the Patty Duke Show…

…I could have swore I wasn’t even singing it out loud…

I find that I have had “snappy theme songs” for various points or events or even times of my life. But I don’t know that I have one for “willfully contumacious.” Perhaps one for flights of fanciful defiance comes close….

Maybe something similar to something used to consummate something. Or something like that.

Oh, my and goodness gracious,

If you’re feeling all in-your-facious,

And want to be contumacious,

The world is wide and spacious,

So please just go awaycious.

My theme songs are: “Mod Squad” opening (morning alarm), and “Tank,” (for just about anything else!!)
