Once upon a time in a kingdom called Naneestate, there lived a man named Duke
Joseph. Second in command to the King, Duke Joseph often felt overlooked and
unimportant and was frequently ridiculed. So, one day he decided that he would
surprise the king by doing something important! He would change the official crest
of the kingdom.
Duke Joseph dressed in his finest suit woven of A-# D-# (plural)
and set about to travel the kingdom in search of inspiration. Although costly, he
traveled in a H-# coach called Kingdom 2 and throughout the kingdom he
passed out small pieces of C-# and E-# as he passed by to
mollify the hungry peasants.
Stopping at one point, Duke Joseph saw a I-# and F-# C-#
discarded by the side of the road. He H-# commanded an artist from the
kingdom crier corps to draw it. Upon seeing the results, he knew it must be in the
crest.
Later, as Duke Joseph sat in a tavern, considering the meaning of life, a bar wench
tripped and spilled a Steaming tray of F-# , F-# I-#
on the head of a G-# . Magically, the entire scene reminded the Duke of a
happy day he spent with J-# and J-# at the Naneestate Petting Zoo. He
knew that creature belonged on the Crest, as well posed by some B-# .
On the way back to the kingdom, the duke passed several citizens running for their
lives from the kingdom tax collector. As the Duke pointed to their hiding place, the
tax collector turned and H-# doffed his G-# hat in thanks. The Duke
realized that the hat was lined in A-# and D-# silk.
"Yes!", he exclaimed. "Those shall be the colors of the new Crest."
Later, Duke Joseph called all of the kingdom crier corps to a ceremony in the town
square where he read a proclamation that he copied from a book in the royal library.
H then unveiled a remarkable drawing of the new crest.
The King was displeased to hear of the Duke's latest activities. He reprimanded the
Duke for acting without his knowledge, again. He ordered J-#1 to escort the
Duke to a special facility at K-# . He spent the next few days gazing at a small
cage of A-# F-# G-# (pl)
as they H-# scurried about.
Sadly, he lined the cage with the drawing of his crest. For just a moment, he wept.
The End.

| A Meeting In Copenhagen A Play in One Act |
The Scene: Air Force One. General McChrystal waits
patiently. In a moment President Obama approaches.
General:
Mr. President. They tell me I can only have 25 minutes so
we better get right to talking about strategy for the war.
Now I th..
President:
Yes, but first I want you to know that I care about you.
How’s it going? How are feeling? How’s the family?
General:
Fine. Fine. Now about the strategy for the War, I’m
worried about the troops. I…
President:
Oh, yes, the troops. You know I really want the troops to
know that I care. That’s why Michelle and I put together
some care packages to remind the troops of me and how
I feel.
General:
But Mr. President its more important to...
President:
I Know. This is important. While the General holds his
head, the President exits stage left. The President
returns With a box. He opens the box and begin pulling
objects from the box.
President:
Now look we have all these Obama T-shirts. And look- we
have CDs with excerpts from my Speeches… look, my
book… and here’s a video of my TV appearances, and an
autographed full color photograph of me.
General:
Thank You. That’s very generous but what the troops
need…
President:
What they need is to know is that I care and this will say
it. I can’t think of anything the troops would appreciate
more than these.
General:
I can. What they’d appreciate is if you would give me the
re-enforcements and support I need to win.
Before the President can answer David Axlerod enters
stage right.
Axlerod:
I’m sorry gentlemen. The 25 minutes is up. You’ll have to
leave, General.
General:
What? We didn’t even discuss anything.
Axlerod:
I’m sorry I’m sure you realize how valuable the President’
s time is.
President:
(Extending his hand) This has been great. We’ll have to
get together in the next few months. Maybe we could do
lunch. Have your people get with my people.
As secret service men escort the resistant General away,
his voice is heard from off stage.
General:
But Mr. President, what about the war strategy? Please
let’s talk. This is Urgent! Please...
President:
(Shouting) Hey don’t forget my care packages! (He turns
to Axlerod) You know, I get the feeling that our troops
really love me.
Axlerod:
Yes, Barack. They love you. I keep telling you. Everybody
loves you.
President:
Everyone?
Axlerod:
Yes.
President:
I thought so.
