Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for February 27, 2020

Hey, Babe, Take a walk on the Wild Side.

“To a fanfare, a dumpy little woman teetered out… Mrs. Xenia Donahue!”

The skirts make both the teeter tottering & the tooting problematic…

… rebels have been rebels since I don’t know when, but all they want to do is dance, dance…

…careful…

…don’t get too close…

…they may have the vapours…

…the one on the right is Grandpa…

…he was blinker fluid…

…the are dancing to, Paper Roses…

…YES! Baseball is about to begin…

the Froglandia Polka Society dances every Friday night after Frogger Bingo…

…you are only as old as you feel…

…but janitor Jake has Not put a hole in the dancer’s dressing room wall…

…not that I approve of that thing to begin with…

…’cuz Jake was a jack of all trades to begin with…

…and there was no place for him in Froglandia polite society …

The dodge boob dance

Fat Tuesday in Froglandia was a wild bacchanalia. All morality and inhibitions would melt away like an ice pop on the Frog of July.

At which time the Froglandian boys are driven completely to distraction.

Dear Ms. Creator

Thank you for your uncannily accurate and fairly lifelike portrayal of my sisters in the W.C.T.U. practicing the abstinence shuffle at our bi-monthly Sunday social.

Sincerely,

Rotifer’s Mother

These are the ole bitties who fought for Women’s right to VOTE! Teeter totter on!

They can’t sit still when I break out the old banjo.

Spring Break at the pond … show us your teeters …!!

the girls like to fill their skirts with methane left over from supper.

“Beans, beans, the musical fruit. The more you eat, the more you toot.” If this sounds like pre-teen boy poetry to you, well, that’s where I learned it. I don’t remember how many L’s are in “eleven”, but I remember that poem.

Do your Frogs hang low

Can you swing ’em to and fro

Can you tie ’em in a knot

Can you tie ’em in a bow

Can you swing ’em over your shoulder

like a regimental soldier

Do your Frogs hang low

are they soft

or are they not

quick, get out of the car and give us your jewels

Oh, those wild, wild girls!

Gonna give Froglandia a reputation. Next thing you know, tourism will increase exponentially, drawing exactly the kind of thrill-seekers you wouldn’t want joining you in your favorite pub….

They look like Women Gone wild to me.

Frogette Zombies

They’re not going very far or very fast. I don’t think “Wild” is on today’s itinerary.
