Monologue Mania Day # 1638 A House Filled With Young by Janet S. Tiger (c) Aug. 11, 2018
A House Filled With Young
a monologue from a play to be written by Janet S. Tiger (c) 2018
(Older woman comes out, smoking a pipe)
Ain't you never seen no one smokin a pipe? You're young, so maybe you ain't.
My grandma used to smoke a pipe, so now, so do I. But I don't inhale. Because that ain't good for you. What is good is, no one ever forgets you smokin a pipe.
I like that. When I was young, I wanted everyone to look at me.
So I'd paint my face just like my mother.....and everyone'd laugh.
I got older, dressed up in my mama's young dresses, so all the boys'd look at me.
It worked.
Now, I am not young anymore, so....the pipe makes sure people don't forget me.
That's the biggest. I don't wanna be forgot.
Not yet. Not while I'm still here.
While I can still recall things.
That's why I try to have lots of food like that pizza, because then my grandchildren come over....I hate pizza, but you gotta have what the young want....because when you have a house full of young.....you stay young.......
(Takes a deep breath, exhales slowly)
I am gonna die.
Soon. Mebbe if'n you want, I kin leave this pipe for you.
(She turns to leave, stops, looks back)
But I dunno when that soon will be. So, come on back......you're young, and I like a house filled with young........
And maybe ...I'll tell you the secret of this pipe.......
(Lights down. End of scene)
