Treasures in Transition

A standup comedienne type comedy monologue talks about how we dispose of the used clothing and . . . stuff. . . in our life, (herein referred to as jahhnk . . . well it sounds better than junk OK?) , and how we need to be careful who gets what . . in case it reflects badly on us, the theory being that our jahhnk is actually TT, (that’s Treasures in Transition), and some friends and neighbours handle our jahhnk better than others.
Actually we are all Treasures in Transition, and God can make us a new creation.

actress comes on stage, “notices” people in the audience

Oh sorry, didn’t notice you there . .
And just look at me . . . a mess . . .
You really must forgive me . . I am jahhnking today . . . .

(looks out into the audience, frowns, as though someone out there is questioning her)

Jahhnking . .
You know, when you go through the house, find things you haven’t used in like a
gazillion years, decide what you should take to the downtown Place d’Jahhnk and what
you should . . .

(looks out into the audience, frowns, as though someone out there doesn’t understand)

Place d’Jahhnk . . .
The “New to You” . . .
OK, fine, the Goodwill Store . . .
But a high-quality Goodwill store, OK?
I shop around, check out all the Goodwill stores in town, gotta be sure the Goodwill store I use is worthy of my jahhnk.
Understand that not all of my jahhnk goes to Place d’Jahhnk, OK. . .
I mean, some of my jahhnk is like . . . junk, and no way I am gonna take that to Place d’Jahhnk, no way
