Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for July 04, 2018

Lust in the eye. Breezing. Turns, mislocation, and frowning.

He spent Sunday sicking up wallpaper in the spare bedroom.

Bleeding, broken bones, dust in the eye, freezing, burns, dislocation, drowning, mad dog scares, avoidable accidents.

Bust in the eye was considered as well.

I’ll take “leading causes for a truncated vacation” for $100, Alex.

A common human wish: to void all accidents.

… where are all the spelling police when you need them?…

… always a letter short and an hour late…

… apply orth f uly…

… that Terry, always looking for another angle…

… this is ‘Merica ,speak ’Merican…

… I can not read that cursed on green cursive…

… I feel like such a tweenager reading civil war letters…

…

… all men are created equal…

… except maybe Johnny Holmes & Donald Trump…

… and of course John Wayne had little feet…

… what difference does that make?…

… how does dialect even happen?…

… how does y’all ever become a thing?…

… how does gramps saying y’all turn into whole culture saying it?…

What is a long-lost Sidney Toler “Charlie Chan” script for $500, Alex?

Six fingers and two thumbs up … appy ourth y’all …!

Sounds like a typical FA 4th of July Barbecue !

Freezing, asking if anyone has some gloves to keep both hands warm..

You have green eyes, you’re under arrest. Green eyes are banned in these parts..

Trigonometry boy tries in vain to raise the roof; little does he know, around these parts, ain’t no roof to raise. Lame.

Voidable accidents must happen when you can’t get to the bathroom on time.

I fell into the voidable accident when the ad on the dog scared me.

Hey, Guy-With-the-Upraised-Hands, don’t look at me! I didn’t lose all those letters! If you can’t handle the Scrabble chips, that’s your problem!
