Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for April 30, 2024

Ah, wouldn’t that be nice.

The legitimacy of this word rests entirely on two appearances in dictionaries, in 1623 and 1656.

And still trying to get a head.

The ET Contubriates were a race

That could when necessary embrace

An trans-dimensional rift and thus flux

Half in/ half out like migrating ducks

Among natural tesseracts in Space.

.

Contact with pseudo acersecomes came to be

When a miner among the asteroidal scree

Played music from Rodgers and Hammerstein —

‘My Favorite Things’ — within an iron mine.

The rest is inter-solar history.

.

The Acersecomic Life Cycle was so:

That hair-like tendrils allowed them to flow

Like jelly fish within a cosmic sea.

The younger entities quite naturally

Allowed their wispy manes to grow and grow.

…Samonite…

….Nazarene oath…

…I am practicing for that one…

…235 days…

…just shaved off my beard, though…

…can’t go near cadavers …

…had to one day…

…one Sunday while visiting my son & future daughter-in-law at their school…

…learning nerves & such…

…on corpses…

…their professor wore a t-shirt…

…which said…

… I see dead people…

…true story…

You need to get out more. The dry cleaner errand does not count as cardio.

Hold the mayo on my sandwich, please. And I want the bread to be half and half rye (available at all bakeries near me).

Totally Sikh. Or Sikh Kesh, anyway.

And that about sums it all up!

Almost cut my hair… happened just the other day… getting kinda long, Guess you could say it got in my way…

But i didn’t-

Note to Samson, Fabio and Jared Leto:

The 17th century called – it wants its hair back.

exhultation in progress

Vodka sandwiches,

one-minute Martinizing,

scampering in ditches,

mem’ries terrorizing.

And a quick trim in Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.

Henry’s Anne?

I haven’t had half a terabyte of hair since I don’t know when. And since surgery on my scalp a few years ago, I don’t want it growing back…I would never look plucky like titmice.

Isn’t this a fine kettle of fish … or was that yesterday …?

Acersecomicke – a fun font for the family?

Sisyphos emerges briefly from the penumbra of anonymity to assert that This Frog Lives; that he eats sandwiches when appropriate; has by almighty coincidence been a bit acersecomic of late. Peace, out.

I read but rarely comment anymore….

Enchilada or Ranchero sauce as on the Mexican Pizza.

Special of the day and Sisyphos comment for this community.

Put either sauce with food and monetary cheese.

Seafood is a complement. You bring the anchovies and shrimp maybe crab shredded too.

I do see the occasional titmouse. And once, an indigo bunting. But the bunting didn’t come to the feeders, naturally. It did NOT whistle a few bars of “Closer to fine”, BTW.

It’s good to count your blessings.

Unfortunately, my PB&J sandwiches are all too fallible, with the grapes welching® on the deal. The last strawberries are preserved especially in the multifarious multi berry concoctions that are lurking on nearby shelves.
