FORK IS NOT A RUDE WORD

KERMIT, Texas -- Kermit the Frog began a globe-hopping tour to celebrate his 50th showbiz birthday in this small West Texas town that shares the beloved amphibian's name.

Fork is not a Rude Word.
Miss Piggy:
Froogle Google
Toogle Woogle.
Croaking frog in the fog
Howling dog in the smog
As the Iguana of Chautauqua nods on the log
For any dummy can blog.

Kermit:
Are you making fun of me Miss Piggy?
Miss Piggy:
No Kermit.
I am just having fun
Don’t mind the pun.
Kermit:
I was sitting on the bench
When I was booed by one sulking wench
Who had some slimy issues
Because, she forgot her periodic tissues
Whilst blogging in her closet
And wanted to take it out on innocent Kermit.
Miss Piggy:
Do you know why FORK is not a rude word
But FXXK is?
Kermit:
No. I can’t even guess.
Miss Piggy:
Because, fork rhymes with pork!
By the way!
Happy Birthday Kermit!
KERMIT, Texas -- Kermit the Frog began a globe-hopping tour to celebrate his 50th showbiz birthday in this small West Texas town that shares the beloved amphibian's name.

The town of about 5,700 rolled out the green carpet Friday for the singing, dancing Muppet and former "Sesame Street" star, giving him the key to the city, dubbing him grand marshal of the homecoming parade and crowning him honorary homecoming king.

Kermit made his debut in a 1955 television comedy called "Sam and Friends," which aired locally in Washington, but he looked more lizard like back then.

Kermit was fashioned from an old coat belonging to the mother of the late Muppets creator Jim Henson and was named for one of Henson's childhood friends.
