Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for May 25, 2022

Fingerprints are real, but Birds Aren’t Real.

This thing has Alfred Hitchcock’s fingerprints all over it.

…one of my all time favorite songs…

…(and perhaps one of your least favorite)…

…that’s a great picture of a bird…

…I think I’ll thumbprint print it…

…at the Smithsonian I saw a painting created of nothing but thumbprints…

…thanks for the fingerprints…

…now I know how to get into the bathmat factory’s safe…

…we all know birds aren’t real…

…sssh…

…but neither are skippers…

Rockin Robin here! Are we ready to rock in the treetops all day long?

Rocking and a bopping and singing a song….

READY. Okay…here we goooooooo!

Indeed.

What are you crowing about?

What in the whorl?

If a bird can ask one of the timeless questions…why can’t we?

“I would rather have questions that can’t be answered than answers that can’t be questioned.”

— Richard Feynman

pengy print

Who belongs to these Loops, Whorls, and Arches …?

Only the AFIS knows …!

The owl asked, who the who?

What the What, said the printsly bird, why would you kiss the frog!?

Calling bird that forgot his script.

Never fear!

We’ll soon enough know “what the what?”

We’ve got plenty of fingerprints to go on, and a “canary” that may sing a nice, snitchy tune! This case should be a cinch to solve for the Froglandia P.D. CSI Unit!

Why the why… How the how…
