Monologue Mania Day #1063 Birthdays! by Janet S. Tiger (c) Jan. 10, 2017
(Older man enters, very annoyed, wiping face with napkin)
FUCK BIRTHDAYS!
You heard me, I said.......FUCK BIRTHDAYS!
Stop pretending like you never used that dirty word....everybody here has! Birthday! What a dirty word! And if you don't like it....well, screw you! I am too old to be editing myself all the time! And no, I did not have a happy birthday!
Because, you really don't want many more. Because even if your birthday is happy, one day out of year just ain't enough.
And if your friends are older, well, they know that day is often not the same happy it was when you were say, five, or fifteen, or....(smiles, remembering) 25! Your birthday at best is....maybe, ok.
Maybe the relatives come and make a big fuss. I stopped that a few years ago - too much energy!
Maybe some friends call, the ones who are still alive....the ones that still can dial the phone....the ones that still remember you!
But mostly, a birthday gets....sad. Because you remember your other birthdays, who was there. Who isn't there anymore. And next year, will you be there at your own birthday!
So, I want everyone to know.....next year, please don't remind me....because I'll say the same thing - FUCK BIRTHDAYS!
(Turns to leave, stops, looks back)
But you better cut me another piece of cake - and don't be so skimpy this time!
(Exits to start another year!)
