Here's a poignant little one act play. The dialogue is only 2 words but I've used the (6) word count on the actual script and directions:

McCain: Oh bummer! (palin' into insignificance)

If anyone is interested in staging this; royalties are contingent upon the degree of grovelling done in the asking - although I'd really only be open to major companies such as the RSC (Royal Shakespeare Co), NYTE (New York Theatre Ensemble) or the RAWBUT (Riverina Assoc. of Wind-Breakers Union of Theatrics).

Pleb no-hopers with unlimited vision but limited dollars please do not apply.

(I didn't create this daft Melburnian weather! What I want to know why the sun is always on the driver's side, it nearly welded me to the car).

Onset of summer spawned mango madness.
