Monologue Mania Day # 1552 The Ruler by Janet S. Tiger (c) May 17, 2018
A monologue by Janet S. Tiger © all rights reserved tigerteam1@gmail.com
(A character comes onstage wearing a suit made of....yes, numbers starting at one by the feet, up to 12 on the head. Very perky)
Yes, my friends, you guessed it. I am.....a ruler. Not the king-y kind, but the number kind.
Some call me other names, but numerically, I am always the same. I am a constant in a changing world.
(Pokes at the numbers)
Well, that's not true. I have been many different lengths throughout history. I started out as a way of everyone agreeing on at least one thing - how long I was.
So, I have been all sorts of lengths, from fingers and toes and feet and cubits centimeters and now I can be made out of wood or steel or.... even out of laser light! But one thing I have had to be is....consistent.
Please remember that when you are yelling at me because you measured incorrectly - as if it was my fault! Or banging me on the table because you think that might improve the measurement- wrong again!
I represent the best in our world - the ability for everyone to agree on even one thing for awhile - and with me comes the keeping of a dream and a hope - that agreement can grow throughout the world. That instead of fighting over silly things.... like pieces of earth, and who has a better God.....people will be able to agree about many things - and maybe, I could measure.....instead of pieces of paper....maybe I could measure ....peace.
(Turns to leave, stops, looks back)
So, I guess you could say....I'm hoping to be the ruler....of the world.
(Exits. Not the end for peace)
