"Frog Applause reminds one of learning to read, in the sense that each word in the captions seems 'surprising' and new. Teresa's writing takes one back to that fresh state of mind (typical of, but of course not limited to, childhood) in which the brain, free of preconceptions, doesn't 'fill in' any blind spots along the way but rather wholly embraces the present moment as it unfolds. Every sentence is literally an imagination-expanding adventure." — Craig Conley, author of One-Letter Words: A Dictionary (HarperCollins)

Ah, the piano playing chicken! Those used to be old time amusements. The chicken would peck at the piano keys, and get a little feed as a reward.

Thoughtless, naughty children.

Sensitive artists like Chicken don’t appreciate laughter from hoi polloi!

Are the children in solidarity with their plea or is the girl really the mastermind behind all of this? Makes you wonder who said what.

I love your comment, razorback. Very insightful. My guess is that she’s the mastermind. Ha!

The feelings of chickens are easily hurt.

It’s just a chicken. Cut its head off and let it runaround on the keys till it drops, and bar- b- que it. mmmmmmm… . . slowly, with just the right spice rub, maybe some corn on the cob and wild blackberry pie for dessert. Now that’s a melody you can sink your teeth into!!

chickens don’t play the piano but hens peck at it.
I was wondering what happened to chicken when I only saw two cows today.
