Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for February 11, 2018

The Entity

Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid

Collect all the cards. They are full of good words, and Primrose Commands It.

Don’t be afraid of the blank page. Fill it with words that mean something.

Good? Haaasa. Haaaaaa! Inter net…..no exit…..whitttey at the Busch stop it…..the rubbers………painting for beginner’s in the closet hiding…..butt of toy gun by sister to me in a one hit, KO,…..spindle and skiing, sliding off the rubber to throw downhill sliders at harde

Stay on the edge of the grocery store….music, friend, card to keep me mixer and shindigging….candy and greenhouse that was our whitehooters ltd…..Bach’s beachnut assorted yellow Kmart submarines.

The half story was the one most acclaimed. The other two? Not so much.

Were the words not as good? Who can say? Many believe that the serialization of the last story, and subsequent failure to complete it, led to it being more widely accepted, as per the aphorism, “Always leave them wanting more.”

The thing I like about patents is they’ll let you copyright just about anything.

The United States Postal Service issues its commemorative Primrose A. Jones-Hooper stamps to general indifference and declarations of lameness.

To paraphrase Opus, Teresa “did the ‘good’ parts.”

I have good words.

I have the best words.

Primrose is a bit hypervigilant about making sure EVERYONE knows that her every word is copyrighted. I also find it hilarious when people go out of their way to state that they are NOT an amateur. Nice going, Prim.

Better watch out for 2362. I predict that someone will plagiarize your golden words in that year. Sue for copyright infringement! Sue!

Where’s Happy? He hasn’t hopped by recently.

No whining or raging for wine.

Good stories I good them, bad stories I good them too.

“That’s the thing of it,” he said. “Being cooler than I am doesn’t make you special. Everybody is pretty much cooler than I am. But you are being cooler than you are. And that makes you special. You have no idea how many of these people would like to crawl out of their skins and be something better. Neither do I, actually, but I imagine it to be most of them.”

There are good stories, there are bad stories, and there are spaghetti western stories.

Observing side to side, she’s watching tennis on television..

How is Miss Primrose A. Jones-Hooper like Gilbert and Sullivan’s Ruddigore?

Spake the Critic, “Ruddigore is a bloody bore!”

I will have no more Good Words to waste on her magnificent Insipidity for 10,000 years and 1 day….

Do not encourage her!

go Miss Primrose go old girl go!

“It’s good that it’s good.”

(Don’t send us into the cornfield!)
