Mary wrote this little skit for a church social.
You are welcomed to use it. The characters are one
senior citizen female and one senior citizen male.
Feel free to change the names (we used our
family ones) and other details as needed.
Can You Find Love After Sixty? Mary sitting on a park bench, holding a red flower Marty talks to audience I think it's about time that I married and settled down. I placed an ad in Yahoo Personals and someone answered my ad. At first I just placed the ad as a joke. But when she answered my ad, I knew that I had found my soul mate. She sounds perfect for me, and is the one I want to grow old with. She said she'd meet me at the park and have a red flower so I'd know who she is hits himself on the head I forgot! I am color blind! points to someone in the audience and asks Is that woman sitting on the park bench holding up a 'red' flower? when audience member indicates 'yes', Marty asks How about my tie, is it on straight? Walks over to Mary, Mary holds up her red flower Is that you Maria Michelina? Mary nodding Is that you Margaritis? Nice to finally meet you. Marty After all our correspondence on email and typing to each other on instant messenger, it is my pleasure to meet you! My mom is almost a hundred years old and she is afraid I am too young to get married. And she thinks she is too young to be a grandmother. She also does not like the idea that we met on the internet. She said, 'You young people are too modern for me'. I told her how much we have in common Mary Did you tell her that while you were growing up in Belleville, I was growing up in Newark. Does the know that you knew my Nutley relatives who lived close by? Our backgrounds may be a little different, you being Greek and I, Italian, but I am sure we can blend our similarities and have a happy home. Don't you agree, since we are both Baptists? Marty Yes, and when I told her that we were both Baptists, that pleased her. My mom is worried that I cannot afford to support a wife, but I told her, with our combined retirement incomes that we will be okay financially. Now that my mom has approved, I would like to ask you . . . Marty gets down on his knees Maria Michelina, I have two questions I'd like to ask you. One, will you marry me? Mary smiling Yes Marty And my second question is . . . Will you help me get up? Mary helps Marty to his feet Mary Now help me get up With both standing. Marty holds up a sheet of paper to cover their faces and kisses Mary as she raises her foot back. After the kiss Marty and Mary "WOW!" Mary As they start to walk away I thought that you would propose today, so I decided to register for wedding gifts. I know just the place, and I am sure you will agree with me. I went over a list with them and they said they had everything. So let's go sign up with them. Marty Okay, but what is on the list? Mary Taking out a sheet of paper. Well here, let me read it to you. I asked the clerk if he had medications for the heart, circulation problems, rheumatism, arthristis and memory? And he said 'yes'. I asked how about vitamins and sleeping pills and Geritol? He said 'yes'. I asked if he also had walkers and wheelchairs. And he said 'yes, in all sizes'. So let's go to the CVS Phamacy and register right now. The End |
