Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for April 15, 2019

… the devil went down to Georgia, he was looking for a chair to steal…

… the Maestro sat on the devil’s chair, not knowing one leg was short than the other…

… the sementary was filled with people that sat on the devil chairs…

… Moe, Larry! Cheese!…

…the patron saint of people that killed chairs is St. Lazy Boy…

… if I could talk to anyone it be

Chair owners UNITE …! “I’ll give you my chair when you pry it FROM MY DEAD COLD HANDS …!”

I thought snakes and whiskey were Satan’s thing?

(unless you’re Baptist, in which event the list is much longer (the Boogaloo, Canasta, golf, pre marital 2nd base, etc.))

Spoiler alert!… nobody ever accused the devil of being chairitable; maybe chair-irritable, but certainly not the former.

Musical Chairs with the Devil, wasn’t this the band that kicked off the Derrière Awareness festival last year?

How to make friends and influence people. . .

This is why I prefer to sit on the ground. The world was going to beat me anyway.

Cool down, Satan, and take your seat..

“Buy a gift for a dog, and you’ll be amazed at the way it will dance and swerve its tail, but if don’t have anything to offer to it, it won’t even recognize your arrival; such are the attributes of fake friends.”

― Michael Bassey Johnson

“That guy doesn’t know much about dogs.”

― Brass Orchid

You’ll get the chair for this.

That seems rather drastic. I thought the Devil usually had longer-term torments in mind for you (me). Meh. As may be.

This may be why (I’m not making any final commitment here) I prefer chairs with casters that I can wheel about rather than lift….

He stood tall and proud, beneath him were the millions. those that died in his wars, those who died because they could not afford to be healed, the starving, the homeless, the divided communities with the factions fighting each other, ignoring the common enemy.

And the devil bowed.

And then go to his night gig as a lion tamer.

Party at the Broken Chair Bar and Grill.

Play me devil, mono-poly want a cracker?

’Set a spell, Take your shoes off, Y’all come back now, y’hear?" said the devil.

Guess what, poly-gon ..!

Good grief! Another round of Musical Chairs! The Devil, you say!

Please allow me to introduce myself, I am a man of wealth and taste… Hey! I had never heard of Michael Bassey Johnson. I’ve learned more from this comic than…than…well…the Phantom. Though I did learn a lot from the OLD JUNGLE SAYINGS.

Uh-oh. Will no one rid me of this furniture?!

He’s not always called Satan. Sometimes he prefers “Mr Chairman”.

Devils looking for a soulchair to dismantle

Which chair did Clint Eastwood talk to?
