Welcome to Monologue Mania- one new free* monologue a day- -and still going!
I am not into love. Hate is a very nice emotion that has a bad reputation. I don't know why. I hate many things. I hate fresh air. If it's a snowy day, I don't have to go out. I have to get all made up just to go buy a loaf of bread.
Another thing I hate.....diets. A waste of time. My doctor said to eat more healthy food. I told him, I have the same thing for breakfast every day for fifty years, ever since I became rich. I sent a letter to the company that used me as slave labor in World War II - the President of the company liked the letter. Why not? It was a beautiful letter.
They sent me a very nice check, and stock in their company. I still hate them because my mother died working in their plant. But I used their money to make money.
(She whirls around)
What breakfast do I eat? I eat egg and sausage on an English muffin with mayonnaise, lots of mayonnaise and do I care? No. If you get killed by a truck, no one checks your cholesterol!
(She turns to leave, stops, looks back)
Better to die happy, that's what I say.
(Lights down, end of scene)

a monologue by Janet S. Tiger
(This woman is still impressive - she returns with a small book that she lays on the table)
I have a simple philosophy - I do not like people - when I meet them, my dance card is full! I'm too busy for more friends! Friends are good for only two things - to take you out to dinner, and if I am tired and have trouble going to sleep, I call a friend who is boring. As they say now...problem solved. Better than taking that pill they call champion, no that is not the name.....ambien.
Another thing I hate.....diets. A waste of time. My doctor said to eat more healthy food. I told him, I have the same thing for breakfast every day for fifty years, ever since I became rich. I sent a letter to the company that used me as slave labor in World War II - the President of the company liked the letter. Why not? It was a beautiful letter.
They sent me a very nice check, and stock in their company. I still hate them because my mother died working in their plant. But I used their money to make money.
