Presents
by Rick Tornello
A skit
for his Majesty’s next TV appearance:
deep
voice cuts into the entire broadcasts nation wide.
“We
interrupt this program with an important national
announcement.
“AND
NOW, live, FROM THE WHITE HOUSE and the US NAVY
BAND”….
It opens
with a chorus line from Cabaret and the president
lip sinking:
"Money
makes the world go round the world go round, the
world go round".
Then with
all his usual back up staged bobble headed people
behind the podium:
“Every
day’s a TV sound, a TV sound, A TV sound.
Just a death or two won't mind or three won’t
mind. I'm the president so great’s my mind,
great’s my mind.
“We've
insured a baby boom, a baby boom, and all the
oldies will be gone real soon, be gone real soon.
No more issues with Social Security doom, with
Social Security doom."
He bows.
With a
smile he adds, “Just remember, come this
November, I took no responsibility at all. It
wasn’t me that caused these people to die
and care less for you than for I.”
"YOU
WILL APPLAUSE SIGN” appears off screen
but the camera happened to slip.
Audience
in the press seats behind him claps and nods
approval; his bobble heads dance their way off
stage smile.
