Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for April 25, 2024

You’ll be fine.

But I can see just FINE!!

Too bad audiobooks cost almost as much as the hard copy ones.

Easy to get lost reading glasses… or reading cereal boxes, compasses, riot acts, palms, fortunes, handwriting on walls, tea leaves, rooms — even reading between lines.

…while deciding on queues.

Don’t be squeamish — try to reach in and get them. Plumbers charge a lot.

All lost in reading

my glass is all full.

Lost drinking glasses,

my read is just null.

As for looking glasses?

A scull to the skull!

Here I sit, broken hearted

Came to read, but only departed

With my glasses, in a fog

A mystery is the world, just like Frog

Can’t…see

Crookshank read Carl’s thoughts and knew why he’d been so flushed with excitement that his reading glasses fell off his nose.

“It’s sad,” Crookshank mused. “how a brief few seconds of sensual stimulation can be so quickly washed down the drain.”

doesn’t work holding it farther away?

nice charcoal figure!

Cheaters never prosper.

I have OTC readers in strategic spots all through the house.

Shot of JD and a used head on the draw of beer…

Small rocks glass, but a plain on plane ounce and a half measured, then stir or shaken with ice to chill like a pill.

That’s why we have bifocals. Thank you, Benjamin. Make sure you get the right strength when you get new ones. To avoid headaches.

Squinching may work please.

I’ve been lost in thought.

I’ve lost my faith.

I’ve loved and lost.

I’ve been as lost as a goose in a hail storm.

I searched a lost and found at Redfish Lodge near Stanley, Idaho.

(I forgot where I was going with this)

You’re making a spectacle of yourself.

The glasses I read are still lost.

I found my gasses, after I ran over them with the lawn mower.
