Just Because #5 Revisited
A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller. He can see from her nameplate that her name is Patty Whack.
“Miss Whack, I’d like to get a $30,000 loan to take a holiday.”
Patty looks at the frog in disbelief and asks his name. The frog says his name is Kermit Jagger, his dad is Mick Jagger, and that it’s okay, he knows the bank manager.
Patty explains that he will need to secure the loan with some collateral.
The frog says, “Sure. I have this,” and produces a tiny porcelain elephant, about an inch tall, bright pink and perfectly formed.
Very confused, Patty explains that she’ll have to consult with the bank manager and disappears into a back office.
She finds the manager and says, “There’s a frog called Kermit Jagger out there who claims to know you and wants to borrow $30,000, and he wants to use this as collateral.” She holds up the tiny pink elephant. “I mean, what in the world is this?”
(You’re gonna love this.)
The bank manager looks back at her and says, “It’s a knickknack, Patty Whack. Give the frog a loan. His old man’s a Rolling Stone.”
(You sang it, didn’t you? Yeah, I know you did.)
Never take life too seriously.

Tread Carefully!
Have you ever seen:
.
A flirty flamingo?
a dangerous duck?
a superman spider?
a mink in the muck?
a mouse up a mountain?
a toad in a tree?
then if you have not
come walking with me!
I talk to the trees
and wriggle with worms.
I tickle a toadstool
but stop if it squirms.
I’ll argue with ants,
debate with a deer,
and when greeting lions
I show them no fear.
I’ve ridden a hippo
and that’s hard to do.
Their hides are quite slippy
when covered with poo
I once met a cow
who told me a story.
I won’t tell it here,
It’s sleazy and gory.
So keep your eyes open
and watch where you tread.
If you step on a ‘gator
you may end up dead!

Emelie, Sharky the Dog, and Satang the Cat
An occasional post of my music choices. No analysis, or explanation, maybe just a few words to say why! In this case, more than a few!
In The Elephant’s Pianist I introduced you to Paul Barton who lives in Bangkok, Thailand with his wife Khwan, and daughter Emilie. They are all extremely talented artists and musicians.
In I Love The Bartons I introduced Emilie’s talents and here you can see more.
In the current world, full of so many horrible things, it is uplifting to see Emilie playing piano for Sharky the dog and Satang the cat. Emilie is playing a song composed especially for her by her friend Alessandra Celletti.
I Love The Bartons!
An occasional post of my music choices. No analysis, or explanation, maybe just a few words to say why! In this case, more than a few!
In The Elephant’s Pianist I introduced you to Paul Barton who lives in Bangkok, Thailand with his wife Khwan, and daughter Emilie. They are all extremely talented artists and musicians. Here you can watch the whole 33 minutes, or dip in and out as you wish. I cannot resist watching the whole lot over and over.
You will be able to see very many videos, charting the Bartons’ life. There are links all over the web, including at the end of these videos. You can see music, art, and details of a nasty campaign trying to discredit Paul’s work with elephants. I have become rather enamoured with their work. I hope you can enjoy a little of it here!
