Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for January 15, 2021

The dusty springs need a good cleaning too.

“Pas de lieu Rhône que nous!”

Aaaaah! Yes! Ye old box springs! Poking through and jabbing you in the back! ……the good old days….

I would, but first you have to tell me what you did with my Speed Racer® bedspread.

And how are we adjusting to the routine?

And lie in it.

Clinomania, excessive desire to stay in bed, morbid sleepiness.

For those of you who haven’t seen or heard of it … check out this 2014 University of Texas commencement speech by U.S. Navy Admiral William H. McRaven entitled “If You Want To Change The World, Start Off By Making Your Bed” https://youtu.be/pxBQLFLei70

“..wie mann sich bettet…—Brecht & Weill

It’s all lies, I tell you! Or is it lay? Lay good. Lie bad.

A lot of men would like that woman to help them make the for bed for those guys. And not the one on the left side of the picture.

I don’t know about you, but I don’t have two housemaids doing my bed-making. I do my own, thank you, not that it much matters in these Quarantine Days….

Maybe there are some people who do need this admonishment, but I wouldn’t put a lot of my bath mat stock down on it….

I have Frogorrhea.

…if you make your own bed…

…you have to sleep in it…

…oh nurse!…

…did you call me, doctor?

…why would I call you a doctor…

…I’m the surgeon…

…can you bounce a penny off it?…

…I bought my bed from Ikea…

…I don’t know if I made my own bed or not…

…it was more like assembling my own bed…

…I went to buy a new pillow…

…fifty bucks!…

…are you kidding me…is Peter Pan any relation to Bed Pan…

…hello, is there anyone out there?…

…is this thing on?…

thanks for that video, Howard’sMyHero.
