 Yee Haw!TOWN MEETING
Click
here to hear a skit from excerpt from the Sheriff Star CD
Puppets :
A man and an older lady. Add as many townspeople as you have puppeteers.
Group
the puppets together with the sheriff in the front, as if having a town meeting.
Sheriff:
Folks, the reason I called this here town meeting is . . .
Deputy:
I was a wondering that myself. Just why did
you call this here meeting?
Sheriff:
I was just a fixing' to tell ya. Now listen up.
Deputy:
I'm a listening. I'm a listening.
Sheriff:
As I was a saying, fore I was interrupted by my deputy.
Deputy:
That's me. I'm the Deputy Sheriff of West Glory Town. Yes sir, I shore am!
Sheriff:
The Sin Gang is headed this away. (people sigh) They are being led by our arch
enemy Deceiver. Now there is no need for you folks to get all stirred up, cause
there's nothing to be worried about. I got a plan. Well, actually, it ain't my
plan at all. It's God's plan. The Bible tells us to "Resist the devil and
he will flee from you." So that's just what we gonna do around here. Ya
hear me?
Older
lady: And just how we gonna resist that old stinker? I can't resist somebody
like Deceiver!
Deputy:
Yeah, Deceiver is rough!
Sheriff:
I know he's rough!
Deputy:
And, and he's tough!
Sheriff:
I know he's tough!
Deputy:
And he's strong!
Sheriff:
I know he's strong!
Deputy::
Oh, you smelled him too, huh? Ain't no little old lady gonna be able to stand up
against Deceiver. I got an idea, lets (yelling) RUN.
Sheriff :
Now calm down, Deputy. Ain't nobody gonna do any running. Ya hear? It don't
matter how old you are, you can still stand up against Deceiver. It don't have a
thang to do with ya age. What counts, is whether or not, you believe God's word.
Now don't fall for the old rascal's tricks neither.
Man::
Don't we need guns or something?
Deputy :
(loudly) Bang! Bang! Bang!
Sheriff:
Would you cut that out!
Deputy:
You know a fellow could get hurt with guns. Why don't we try offering them some
sheriff's cooking? That stuff is deadly.
Sheriff :
(Ignoring the deputy.) I was just gonna say everyone arm yourself with ya guns.
You men and women gather up all your 66‑shooters. Let the kids round up
their 27 models. If you don't have enough of them, then fetch ya Sunday School
derringers.
Deputy:
Man, you must be kidding. We ain't used our Bible guns in a long, long time. I
mean, like a long time, Sheriff. I don't even know where mine is.
Sheriff :
That's exactly why we got this trouble now. When people quit studying the word
of God, the Sin Gang comes in and takes over. Now folks I'm a telling ya, your
only protection is to learn how to use them Bible guns. Now get busy! (All
puppets exit.)
Deputy :
(Takes hat off and scratches head.) You mean we brought the Sin Gang to our
nice, quiet, little town by neglecting the word of God. That wasn't any too
smart of us, now was it? (Exit)
Voice :
When you neglect hearing and reading the Bible you will notice that you have
more and more problems with sin creeping in on you. Psalms 119:11 "Thy word
have I hid in my heart that I might not sin against thee."
God's word in your heart is your best protection against sin.
DEPUTY THINKS IT OVER
(Deputy
thinks over the sheriff's conversation and re-enters. He is totally disgusted
with the sheriff. This should be humorous by adding childish gestures. He leaves
as suddenly as he enters.)
Deputy:
I just don't understand Sheriff Star. What he ought to do is . . . Well, he
ought to . . . just . . . ah. I don't rightly know what
he ought do, but he's a smart enough fellow. He ought to think of something
better than using them Bible guns on the Sin Gang. I just ain't gonna do it! I
ain't gonna get out my sixty‑six shooter. I don't even know where the
thang is, anyway!
