DICTIONARY

The curtain opened - a lone man stood
in the middle of the stage and held up a
big dictionary. He then opened it up. He
tapped the big book. Out fell dozens and
dozens of words. Out fell dozens and
dozens of people dressed as words and
shaped as what they were: pizza, mouse,
hammer, clarinet, knife, fork, spoon,
frog, fish, alligator, bear, poodle, a yoyo,
and they spilled off the stage and into the
audience. The slice of pizza yelled loudly
from halfway up the main aisle, “Love me!”
A six foot mouse - ran across the stage
and up the side aisle - then stopped to rub
against the hammer and the spoon.
Well, for that audience that night - a
dictionary was never the same again.
