Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for February 14, 2021

Be my elephantine …!

It’s a snot knot!

Unrequited love

Elly and Phant in a playful tug of war.

Wins the can of El Fanta Soda Pop.

Hey Skipper, I found a nice tune from Arlo Parks.

Ooo, now they can share boogers. Happy Valentine’s Day.

I can just see Charlie Brown standing by the mailbox, waiting for mail on a Sunday.

A Poem* That Is Not About Surveillance Pickles

(by ʀᴏᴛɪғᴇʀ ᴛʜᴀʟᴡᴇɢ)

Roses aren’t blue

Violets aren’t red

But Charles Nelson Reilly’s

Still dead dead dead

* Inspired by Frog Applause™

LET GO!

NO! YOU LET GO!

I hate when you get clingy!

and I hate when you tie me up in knots!

If elephants leave no trace of their amazing proboscis in the fossil record, I wonder how many dinosaurs had one?

Forgot the ‘k.’

Some of those cenotaphs look pressed from a mold. But to single out Michel de Montaigne as the one named honoree shows stunning judgment and discernment, Ms. T. I love it.

Also, I don’t want a cenotaph like Montaigne’s after I’m gone. Something more like the Washington Monument would be fine.

…let’s not mention the elephant in the room…

…they were in love with the junk in the trunk…

… NOT!!!…

…they give a new definition to, ‘tie the knot’…

…the bad part about elephants never forgetting…

…he thought since he was out of trunk lotion that he would try Gorilla Glue…

… I’ve seen a housefly…

…and a butter fly…

…happy Valentine’s Day Froglandia love birds…

Lying evil elephants love dictators.

“And now I’m shackled to the past by things I didn’t do.”

Did anyone else see Grace the Face in today’s New Adventures of Queen Victoria?

Is this like when dogs get locked together?

You can’t force an affection connection, but some will claim you can buy it.

Just because you’re all knotted up and stuck with an un-friend*, don’t turn your back (as if you could!) on St. Valentine’s Day!

*it’s a hazard of the Elephant Life Style….

Bisou!

That’s knot punny!

On another note, your link to cenotaphs at the blog was fascinating. My mother donated her remains to the University of Utah Medical Center, and as a result is the proud (well, she would be proud if she were still alive) participant in not one, but three cenotaphs: a marker in her family plot, a mention at the Salt Lake City library’s “Wall of Donors,” and a monument in the Salt Lake City cemetery where cremains of donors are finally interred.

…in the Apostles Creed we believe that Jesus was crucified, died and was buried…

…but was he buried?…

…was not Jesus, rather then buried: entombed?…

…maybe, buried is another term for entombed?…

…just looked it up…

…to put a dead body in a grave or tomb…

…that makes this nonsense, then, doesn’t it?…

…except how do you bury someone in a tomb?…

To be or NOT to be…

Drug around to merry-go-round I got dirty pretty well.

Watch Out a funny bone might get pulled in the tug-of-war.

Tied up in mixed feelings.

Nirvana sings entertain us, you know what, they will brain us… Not.
