Senator Elmo

"Senator Padme, Elmo wants you to tell the kids what sound an elephant makes."

"Aroooo!"

"And what sound do two elephants make?"

"Aroooo! Aroooo!"

"Now, Senator Padme, let's show Jedi Anakin how a real hug is made."



Ah, Senator Elmo, the little red muppet. The last time I remember seeing him was on his talk show 18 years ago, when he was doing interviews with the jedi. Obi-Wan was the last one who came on right before the show was cancelled.

(Obi-Wan comes out from backstage, sits on big yellow feathery sofa next to Elmo)

Ben: *hic* Heeeey, y'all! *hic*

Elmo: Will you please tell Elmo, Mr. Kenobi, about all your hard work at the Temple?

Ben: ............................... *hic*

Elmo: Mr. Kenobi?

Ben: OH! Cheetos! Robots is nice too.

Elmo: I'm sorry, Mr. Kenobi, but Elmo thinks you misheard the question. Will you-"

Ben: No! *hic* Stay away from my mother! She thinks your dumb! *hic* See her again and I'll cut your throat! *hic*

Elmo: That's not what Elmo-

(Ben draws light saber)

Ben: You know bloody well not to mess with me!

(Ben raises saber menacingly)

I wonder what ever became of him. Last I heard, he was spending time at a hospital. Maybe he decided he would save more lives if he became a doctor or something. We salute you, Doctor Elmo!
