Monologue Mania Day #115 by Janet S. Tiger c) June 7, 2014
Procrastination

(The actor does not come on immediately, but is cautious, entering with a very ashamed face.)
I'm sorry I'm late. And I'm sorry, but I also do not have the first act memorized yet....it's a bad habit, and I have a little story to tell. When I was in fifth grade, the teacher told the class we had to learn one expression a day, and that the first day's expression was, (imitates a woman's voice) "Procrastination is the thief of time"
And I raised my hand and she called on me and I asked (in a child's voice)- " What does procrastination mean?"
And she replied..."There is the dictionary, go look it up!"
And I told her, "Ill do it later"
(The actor turns to go, stops and looks back)
I guess...some things never change.
(The actor exits, shrugging.)
-------------------------------------
Sorry about this! After a crazy week, I, too, have fallen into the Procrastination Pit - yes, I've been moving, but I could have done this, say, three hours ago, instead of at 16 minutes to midnight! Better one tomorrow....
