JUST DESSERTS

                                 # 25 in a series of daily one-act, one scene plays

[ACT I, Scene I: a Centurion commander faces his legion]

COMMANDER: Gentleman, last night I overheard one of you mutter that you missed cake. And I say--We shall eat no cake until all the rebels are driven down and destroyed!

[centurions cheer as a messenger runs up, quickly salutes commander and whispers something in his ear]

COMMANDER: [addresses legions]: I have just been informed that the rebels have been driven down and destroyed. TO CAKE THEN!

 [centurains cheer]
