Arlen Lawson, Paul Rust, Michele Thompson, Matthew Hart, Jason Nebergall. (For the poem, Arlen (narrator) narrates whilst Paul (boy) and Michele (girl) perform actions. Jason (punisher) is backstage, and Matt (writer) is sitting in the front row.) It rains.
Arlen continues to recite the three lines, he loves, it rains, she comes, uninterrupted in the background. JASON: It is I! The PUNisher! MATT: The PUNisher? JASON: Yes, the PUNisher. I’ve CUM out of retirement to PUNish those who overuse bad PUNS. Hence my name, The PUNisher. Matt stares, motionless, at Jason. Pause. JASON: (Hesitantly) He's using 'come' in a sense which implies more than one meaning. Matt stares, motionless, at Jason. Pause. JASON: It's a PUN. Narrator gives up and walks off stage. Matt and Jason watch Arlen leave, then look back at each other. MATT: You're a PUN. JASON: That doesn't make any sense! MATT nods. JASON shakes head. MATT nods. JASON: OH THE BITTER, BITTER, IRONY!!!
