Monologue Mania Day # 1536 Night of Magic (for Walpurgis Night) by Janet S. Tiger (c) May 1, 2018     
                                          
        Meant to post this yesterday, but am technically posting on April 30, so.....please understand, the days are starting to blur!                

                   
                                                                 Night of Magic
                                                                  (for Walpurgis Night) 
                                     A monologue by Janet S. Tiger  (c) 2016 all rights reserved

          (An actor comes out dressed in black, very dramatic - different parts of the monologue can be performed with different accents - Irish, Swedish, English)

Do you remember the night - it's the 30th of April!  Exactly half a year from All Hallows Eve!  But ours is truly the night of magic!  Where all the REAL enchantment happens!  Forget about (says with disdain)  Halloween!  That's for the commercials, for all the candy....for  (spits it out) fun-sized M&Ms...but ..tonight.....this is MAGIC!

          (Waves hands and points)

Can you see it, my friends?  Look!  It's the burning of the witches!  

The smoke means they are all gone.....you ask how I know about all this....well, I was there.....I was a witch, burned with the others.......for centuries, I have been in the carnivals....and the festivals.....and the food.....and the wine.....mmm, that wine!

In Sweden, in Finland....if you are past midnight......that's the time to be kissed......and the traditions go through all the countries.....Walpurgnisnight...where the sorcerors and the witches meet.....our last night for mischief before the lighter half of the year......and the magic is real........

So come join us tonight......because you can always use.....a bit of magic in your life.....

           (Turns to leave, stops, looks back)

And where you are now...... the magic takes place always!  Because everyone knows that no matter what the day...  magic is always here....in.....the theater!

                  (A man runs onstage, he is happy, cheerful, waving at the audience.  He is a host of a popular game show, and he is perfect for the part, including a top hat and sweeping cape.   He raises his hands to stop the applause.)

Thank you!  Thank you! Thank you!  What a great audience!  I just love how you are all so enthusiastic!

We are here tonight to offer another lucky person a chance to choose from the.......
(makes it big)  Three Curtains!

Cue our music, please.....

               (He steps aside and looks back to see what is being projected.)

Wow!  Look at the amazing curtains we have tonight!

             (He points at the projection)

Behind one curtain is a luxurious home, yes, folks, it is on the market for one million dollars!  It may be out of your price range, and you might have to skimp on things like gas and electric and food some weeks, but don't worry, that's why you're here on Three Curtains!

And now for curtain number two - a beautiful, affordable home, but it does have a few, expensive, mystery problems!  Perhaps a slab leak which has created debilitating mold....or a sexual predator down the street....or maybe even a secret buried nuclear waste dump!

Tough choices, right?  

Wait until we get to curtain three.......here it is.......a cardboard box!  Yes, that's right, our lucky family tonight might go home to a mansion, or be dumped off right at the dump! Complete with a cardboard box.  A SOGGY cardboard box!   That's why we say....Curtains to you!  Three curtains!  Who knows which prize is behind which decision you make!  You think you might know, you can guess, or ask a friend, but the choice is yours.....so choose wisely.  

             (He comes to the front of the stage, points into the audience.)

And to help you decide, we have special credit cards! 

            (He hands some out.)

Use them to go on fancy vacations, and get new cars, too!  Whatever your little hearts desire!  If you pay them off, no problem......but if you don't......

            (He turns around, has taken off his hat to reveal Devil's ears.

.....it's straight to curtain three!

I just love this game....

Which way will you go?  Where will you lead your family?  My friends.....watch tonight.....the curtain they pick, may be the curtain.....you pick.  And now for my favorite invention......an advertisement!

             (He turns to go, removes his cape to reveal a tail, he looks back.)


Stick around for the end, folks, it's absolutely.....heavenly!   
             
             (He laughs as he exits - but he will return.  sorry, can't resist - but I call this...Devil's food for thought)

Monologue Mania Day # 1534  Caregivers Exam -Part 127 - (For Caregivers Anonymous)  by Janet S. Tiger (c) April 29, 2018       

 Warning - parental guidance advised - profanity

                            Caregivers Exam  (Part 127)

          (One of the people in the group now comes in with a 3-wheel walker)

 Ladies and gentlemen, I now have the next part of the comprehensive Caregivers Exam - Part 127 to be exact, and the focus for this is......(whirls the walker around)...3-wheel rollators!

Now, you have all now been given some information on this vital machine!
Specifically, the smaller type.

The following test is vital to ASSESSING  your understanding of this VITALLY important device!  With emphasis on the ASS part.

Question 1 -  What is a rollator?  Why does it have such a silly name - especially because everyone calls them WALKERS 

Question 2-  What is a minature rollator?

Question 3- Who the fuck cares about the difference?

Please disregard the previous question as it was written by a severely problemed employee.

Question 4 -   Explain - in detail - the difference between the rollators exhibited on the previous 56 emails you received.  Please be specific, especially about folding mechanisms, ease of assembly (that's good laugh relief)  and how much junk you can fit in the basket.  Illustrate with photos - this will get you a better grade

Question 5 -.  Write an essay about the rollators and why each one has a value - and how that value is completely unrelated to the price. (For extra credit, explain why getting an open box model does not mean someone made eh-eh in the seat and that is why it is cheaper - although, it also doesn't mean it doesn't

Question 6 - Draw a Venn diagram illustrating number 4.  Please do not ask what a Venn diagram is.  If you have to ask, you need to go back to school!

Now take this test and send the results IMMEDIATELY to the proctor -with emphasis on the PRCOTOLOGIST!

Congratulations!  You have finished this first phase of the exam on rollators.

       (Turns to go back to seat, stops, looks back)

And you wondered why you wasted all those years in school!

       (As the others cheer, lights down)

                                              Love Tax 
                                           (for Book of Teas)
                                     A monologue by Janet S. Tiger   
                                                © all rights reserved
         (T is seen rifling through some papers. She holds one bunch up and waves it. She still has that Southern accent.)

Taxes.  All we can depend on is death and taxes, and from what I understand from these PBS science shows, death may not be as dependable as we thought in the past. 

But let me tell you there is no doubt in my mind that there will always be a love tax - someone loves you and you love them, there is an implied burden....maybe not a horrible burden to start - or ever, but it is there, maybe not in a tax code, but tatooed into the heart and soul.

To love and to cherish, in sickness and health......there it is, the words of the tax for all to hear.

An obligation.

A chance to be a better - or if you prefer - a worse person.

A Worson

Because it's pretty simple, if you don't acknowledge the tax, pay the tax, love the tax......the result is a net loss.  The loss of a friendship.....the loss of a love.

The person needs help, needs an ear, a hand......or maybe just a cup of coffee.  The person needs you to be a friend....a parent....a spouse....a sibling.....a person who loves them.......no matter what.

And if you do not pay this tax, the results are the same as when you don't pay your Uncle Sam.
Bad.  The results are very bad.

   (Turns to leave, stops, looks back)

Face it - love will always be a highly taxing proposition.....


          (Lights down.  End of scene.  Not of taxes……)
