SWINE/BOVINE: A SURREALIST DUOLOGUE.


By Kate & Ryan

Synopsis:  This is a surrealist duologue about a cow and a pig who hate each other. 


Ryan:
One day there was a pig  that lived in a barn. And a cow  moved to the barn that the pig lived in. And the cow and the pig hate  each other. The pig wanted to live in another  barn. And the cow waned to live in another barn, too.  They hate each other because they kept  eating  each other’s food.

Kate:
Now, that’s why they’re really mad at each other!  And if they ever would talk to each other, I bet you wouldn’t get a chance of seeing that!  And so, each day they never smiled at each other and whenever the animals asked what they were going to do today they always said, “We think we’re going to stay in the barn.”  It seems like they are always not going to be friends.  You’ll see in our story!

Ryan:
The cow and the pig had to share a double bed.  Every time they went to sleep, they kept pushing and shoving each other because they wanted more room.  Every time they had to go to the bathroom, they kept peeing on each other.  But when the pig got thirsty, the cow would just shoot milk into her mouth.  But it kept missing her mouth and hit her nose!

Kate:
So, the cow and the pig started making robots to come to and to go to the pig’s or cow’s house, because they hate each other so much that they both should do that.

Ryan:
Whenever they wanted to play, they kept fighting.  When the farmer wanted to give them food, they just kicked it into the farmer’s face because they were so unhappy.

Kate:
One day, one of the animals said that they wanted to start a riot because they were mad.  But the pig and the cow did not know.  Then the cow said, “Since they’re starting a riot, let’s run!”  So, it sounded like they were sort of having fun together!  And I think that the cow was the one who wanted to be friends.  Or, both of them!

Ryan:
But then they started a big, big fight.  Other pigs around them were on the pig’s team and cows were on the cow’s team.  Even the baby pigs were on the pig’s team and they started squirting ham, bacon and milk at each other! 

Kate:
The other animals did not know what to do.  So, they came down, watched the fight and decided to talk to the pigs who started it.  The fight was almost so big they wanted to join in, too!  Now the pig and the cow were really mad because they wanted an extra teammate.  So they stopped arguing and said each other, “We’ve been doing this fight for almost 100 years!  And you want to end it later?  I say we end it now!”  Both of them actually said that, but no one knew it except the pig and the cow.

Ryan:
The pig and the cow headed off to MooLaLa to get ice cream sundaes and leave all the other animals behind to keep fighting.  But MooLaLa was closing, so they had to go to Oberweis to get matching sundaes.  Oberweis didn’t taste as good as MooLaLa, so they decided to try Dairy Queen.  At Dairy Queen they got 25 scoops of different ice cream.  When they were eating their ice cream it fell onto their heads.  When it fell on the cow’s head, the pig decided to eat it off of the cow’s head.  What a pig!

Kate:
And so one of the little pigs went to a fox.  And then another fight was on! This was a long day for all of them!  But they didn’t want to stop.  Well, someone out there might, but in this town nobody wants to.  So, one day the famer came walking and he almost fainted!  All the time when he was walking he kept fainting and none of the doctors knew why.  But when the doctors would walk outside they would faint too!  So doctors from all around the world, Alaska, Florida, Mississippi all came and they all fainted too!  A bunch of the animals got hurt.  This was it!  It was a tie, 16-16.  And I bet no one is going to say when they are going to stop the fight.  They are always going to keep doing it!  Why wouldn’t they do it!  No one knew when to stop, since it is going on forever.  They don’t know.  They think it’s 18 days. But it’s actually been 18 years!  One of the cows shouted out, “Let’s call off this the never-ever-ending war!”

Ryan:
But then the farm decided to move to New Jersey.  They needed a ton of taxis to drive to New Jersey.  They had to drive through Oklahoma, Montana, Pennsylvania, Mississippi, Colorado and 49 other states!  All they did the whole way to New Jersey was fight.  They even had babies on the way to New Jersey!  Since there were babies, the big animals decided to stop fighting.  Before you knew it the babies started fighting!  When the babies needed food, they would hit their mom and dad.  The parents were trying to get the farmer’s and taxi driver’s attention because they needed food and fresh air!  They didn’t want their babies to die!  So the taxi driver finally gave up and decided he better do something!

Kate:
And now they were also fighting in a taxi!!  When they were fighting in a taxi, the taxi driver nearly got squished.  They had to find a way to New Jersey!  They had to walk there and it was a long day.  They almost got thrown in jail!  True fact…when baby animals are born, they are blind and deaf.  The babies didn’t know where they were going, so the mommy’s had to carry them the whole way!  Imagine how hard that was!  The babies eventually learned to see and hear and the moms were so proud they threw them up into the air!  A baby chick got killed when the pigs landed.  The mother hen had another chick and named it the same name as the dead one.  The other babies thought it was the same chick, but the mother hen had to explain that it wasn’t the same one.  The little chicks didn’t understand because they were babies.  And then they were best, best, best friends forever! 

Kate and Ryan:
And they lived happily ever after at home!

THE BORING BOOK :-(

You probably thought that just because the title of this book has the word "boring" in it, it must be boring.  Well...it does not mean it's boring, because YOU think that YOU know EVERYTHING.

But guess what?  You don't!

Even me, winner of all spelling bees and winner of everything else that is included with smartness, does not know EVERY SINGLE THING!!!!!!!!!!

Uh...well, sorry if I sound like I'm being mean to you, but I'm just really angry at those people who think they do know everything in the whole world.

Which, but the way, they don't.

Ok...to be honest, this book is actually way better than I thought people would think of it.  You know, I wish the word "boring" was never invented.

I probably should have told you this from the start, but anyway...my name is "Boring."

Yep...my full name is "Boring Robert Scomler."

Humph...I hate my name.  I wish that my name was "Jack" or "Sal" or "Scott."  Those are actually good names.
