SONGS, SPARKLERS, & CHEERS/05-01

  Song - I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing


I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony.
I'd like to hold it in my arms and keep it company.
I'd like to build the world a home and furnish it with love,
Grow apple trees and honey bees and snow white turtle doves.
I'd like to see the world for once all standing hand in hand,
And hear them echo through the hills for peace throughout the land.
That's the song that I hear, let the world sing today.
A song of peace that echoes on and never goes away.

 

RULER Run-On  


Mike: Why do you keep the
ruler on the newspaper when
you're reading?
Spike: I want to get the story
straight!


CRAZY NEWS FLASHES


• Today, Lady Blenkinsop Smythe, laid a foundation stone. Both are said to be doing well.
• An unruley load of artificial hair has just overturned on the highway. The police are
combing the countryside.
• This afternoon, two Cub Scouts went for a tramp in the woods. The tramp got away.
• A hundred-dollar bill has just been found on the campsite. Will the owner please form an
orderly line outside the mess tent to claim it?
• Doctors have just discovered that people with hairs starting to grow on the palms of their
hands are going mad. PAUSE. They also tell us that people looking for hairs on the
palms of their hands are already mad.
• Today thieves broke into the local police station and stole fifty pairs of trousers. The
police are looking, well, pretty silly.

• Here is a late railway announcement. The train now arriving at platforms 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and
10 is coming in sideways.
• Will the man who has just left the train standing on platform 5 please come and collect it

• (Boy runs on interrupting leader): "We interrupt this program for an important news
flash." Turns flashlight on and off, shining it in the audience's eyes. Most effective at a
campfire.
