Jack And Jill Plays - Part 6 - You and Me

About Jack and Jill Plays:


I'm going to do something new.  Post a short play every day as long as I can.  This does not mean that I wrote this play today but I might have.  (My life is not always my own what with work and a 4 year old running around so maybe I wrote it today or maybe it was stockpiled in preparation for the days I can't get in writing.)  My goal is to do at least 100 of these or maybe more but probably 45 or 50 is the length of a full length play so even that would be good.  100 would be better.  300?  amazing.  500?  Does anyone want 500 of these plays?  Anyway, the goal is consecutive days.


The normal things about plays apply-- don't produce or reproduce this play without my permission.  I wrote it so I own it.  Etc.







You and Me

(JACK and JILL in bed.  JACK reads.)



JILL

And then I sang a song, Jack.



JACK

What?



JILL

So then I sang a song. The light fell on me and all the hairs on my body stood up and I opened my mouth and the most amazing song came out.



(JILL is standing now in a spotlight, electrified.)



JACK

Okay.



JILL

It went like this:



(JILL sings.)



JILL

ALL MY HATS ARE NEW HATS

ALL MY THOUGHTS ARE GOLD

WE WILL NEVER EVER WANDER

WE WILL NEVER GET OLD

WE WON'T THINK ABOUT THE FUTURE

DON'T DO WHAT YOU ARE TOLD



I AM JILL!



I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR SOCIAL NORMS

DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT

ANTI SOCIAL POEMS

DON'T TELL ME WHERE TO GO

I'LL JUST STAY AT HOME



I AM JILL!



(JACK puts down whatever he's reading and stands and sings.)



JACK

THE COURSE OF OUR COARSE LOVE

WAS NEVER FINE TO ME

I CARVED OUR INITIALS

ON EVERY SINGLE TREE

I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO

TIL YOU TAUGHT ME HOW TO SEE



JACK and JILL

YOU AND ME

LOVING FREE

IN A TREE

S.E.X.T.I.N.G



JACK                                                         JILL

I AM JACK!                                 I AM JILL!
