Valentines Eve 2020
Valentines Eve 2020
Some of the gang is here on V-Day Eve
Hopefully others will show up before we leave
Mark Lee is talking to Ben Ben about a piece of dirt
Until someone he knows comes in, then he is all flirt
Chad and John are deep in conversation about life and home
Shorty just told them to spend the night at Clingman's Dome
Laura just arrived and she's the one Chad is sweet'n
Today her fashion is channeling Diane Keaton
Kyle is taking orders and mixing drinks
He's the greatest no matter what Ed thinks
Jimmy is eating folks and confirming reservations
So he can't take part in the conversations
Mark is shaking the ice and proclaiming there's nothing in his glass
He's drinking Manhattans but it's Queens when he's drunk off his ass
There is an unknown couple at the table for two
I hope they come back since we area a rowdy crew
They have a meeting on the patio for drug dealers
It's not the illegal kind, it's all for the healers
Chad's now the middle of a ginger cream cookie
He's behaving himself because he's no rookie
The Comers just arrived and want to sit at the bar
Dana scooted Mark & Ben around but it wasn't far
Mark needs just six more inches
If he had that, we would all be flinching
The unknown couple are now known and able
To fit right in since he wants to sell his table
The guy at the bar wanted olives with blue cheese
Kyle came up with something because he's here to please
It's a small world as we all know
Since both gingers are from Ohio
It's just a regular night here at Mo's
Where friends unite and the liquor flows
Agee & Johnson – Merry Christmas 2019
We have had quite the year of changes at the big house on West Main
However our rep as the best auctioneers in Tennessee we still sustain
It was 1977 when Jim and Jerry opened their realty and auction doors
Unlike our friends Hobbs and Lannom they are still making scores
Houses were going for less than sixty grand at the time
And auctions were already bringing in their own dime
Jim is still the busy broker but oh so set in his ways
You still see him on the road most all weekdays
However if you have an appointment you’ll have to wait
Because ‘bless him’ he is just going to be late
Pizza for Christmas Play – 2019
THIS IS A PARTIAL PLAY SCRIPT. MUST PURCHASE A COPY IN ORDER TO RECEIVE COMPLETE COPY
Scene One
Scene opens with a door bell ringing. Lights come up on the Grace’s living room. Paul is standing at the door delivering pizza to the Graces. Mari Grace answers the door. Christmas music is playing in the background.
PAUL: Hello ma’am. I have a medium half pineapple and half pepperoni. That will be $8.00.
MARI: Oh, yes, let me get you some money, son, why don’t you come on in?
PAUL: I really shouldn’t ma’am. I am on the clock.
MARI: Oh, nonsense! I need to go into the next room to get your money and there is no reason for you to wait outside.
PAUL: Well, okay,
Paul looks around the room and notices the Christmas tree with gifts, a guitar leaned in the corner and an open Bible on the table. There is also a picture of a man in uniform on the table as well.
Joe walks into the room
Ice Cold Shut Up 2019
We are in the South as you know
We should not experience November snow
However, it's here along with ice
But Tennessee weather is a roll of the dice
Shorty & I are here with Darek, Houston, Lana, & Tim
Eating warm food, sipping bourbon, & laughing at whim
Lana actually made soup for dinner last night
Derek complemented Lana on a good bite
Lana balked at the compliment with too much salt
Tim said "Shut up" there was no fault
We all laughed until Pam walked in
Chris wasn't far behind coming in with a grin
Joseph and John keeping the bar seats warm
JoJo on the phone trying to sell a farm
Found out I'm a big Houston fan
Not Texas, but the Mormon roofing man
