Cast of
GRAHAM, a
MOTHER, a busy
FATHER, a husband
POLICEMAN, a constable
SCENE: A kitchen in suburbia, one bright morning
ACT ONE
Narrator: The insect-headed worker-wife will hang her on the
line. Her husband burns his paper, sucks his pipe studying
their cushion-floor, his poly-paste breath comes out. Their
wall-paper world is by his shout. A boy in blue is busy
banging out a headache on the kitchen door. All the Graham
slept on, dreaming of a world where he could do what he wanted
to.
Mother and Father (in unison): No in our house, are there dear?
We made that clear, we made little Graham promise us he'd be a
boy. No thugs in our house, are there dear? We made clear, we
made little Graham promise us he'd be a boy.
ACT TWO
Narrator: The young who just can't grow a moustache will
open up his book, and spoil their with reports of Asians who
have so badly kicked.
Policeman: Is your son's wallet I've got here? He must have
dropped it too much beer!
Mother: Oh, officer, we can't believe our little is the one
picked.
Narrator: And all the while Graham slept on, of a world
where he could do just what he to.
Mother and Father (in unison): No thugs in our house, are there
We made that clear, we made little Graham us he'd be a good
boy. No thugs in our house, are there We made that clear, we
made little Graham us he'd be a good boy.
They never read those pamphlets in his bottom drawer.
Policeman: They never read tattoo on his arm.
Narrator: They thought that was just a boys club he wore.
Policeman: never thought he'd do folks any harm.
ACT
Narrator: The insect-headed worker-wife hang her waspies on the
line. She's singing stale and simple now this business has
fizzled out. Her little tune is a happy song. Her son is
innocent, he can't do wrong, 'cos Dad's a judge and knows exactly
the job of judging's all about. And all the while slept on,
of a world where he could do just what he wanted to.
Mother and Father (in unison): No thugs in our house, are dear?
We made that clear, we little Graham promise us he'd be a good
boy. No thugs in our house, are dear? We made that clear, we
made little Graham promise us he'd be a boy.
No thugs in our house!
Father: No in our house!
Complete cast (in unison): No in our house, dear!
