Too Fowl

In a change of pace and topic, my sister has written a short play idea summary for the blorg. Here we go. All events and words are fiction, reflecting the genius of my sister and do not reflect the actual views of any tennis club in an adjoining municipality. A short statement by the author follows the playlet/possible screenplay.

..................................................



Do you want to come over and watch DVDs of a certain Canadian sitcom? my sister said.

Should I eat? I said. I was eating turkey soup. The cats were eating turkey soup.

Well, I am making rice-a-roni, my sister said. Or I can offer you leftover turkey. I also have that damn roast chicken in the fridge. She meant to give me the roast chicken and a newspaper article about fires in Portland chicken coops the last time I was over watching Canadian sitcoms, but we forgot.

What type of rice-a-roni?
Chicken.

I can’t come over, I’m that word that means frightened but it’s a metaphor.

You turkey.

Statement by the author:

I thought of calling the post "My Sister and I are One" but since we are actually one and three quarters I did not.

Now if any of you have experience with the financially lucrative business of turning playlets in top ranking screenplays, I would appreciate your exciting input. I have to write some camera directions and sprinkle them around the talking and doing parts, correct? "Cell phone ringing. Camera closeup of a hand, with quite a few hangnails, scrabbling in a purse. Muttered cursing. Ringing and scrabbling continue, then ringing stops. Hand finds cellphone, removes it from purse and camera view. Silence for a while, then speaking :" How's that?
