MR. MAYOR

JoJo!
I'm the Mayor of Who. Why, I've just been elected.

And upright behavior is thus forth expected.

MRS. MAYOR

We've just had a talk with your teachers today

And they didn't have one single good thing to say!

MR. MAYOR

You invented new Thinks which defy all description!

(Throughout this litany of JoJo's behavior, we need to know that the CAT was responsible. The CAT may be guilt ridden or highly amused. JOJO, of course, sees the CAT reacting, but MR. MAYOR and MRS. MAYOR don't.)

MRS. MAYOR

You gave Miss O'Dooley a nervous conniption!

MR. MAYOR

Your Thinks were so wild they disrupted your classes

And made Mrs. Mackel-Who drop her new glasses.

Which is why you're suspended!

MRS. MAYOR

Yes, that's what they said!

MR. MAYOR

Young man, what in Who has got into your head?!

JOJO

I... um...

(JOJO looks to the CAT for help, but the CAT makes it clear JOJO's on his own.)

MR. MAYOR

Now Horton has found us. We're safe on a clover.

But clearly our troubles are far, far from over.

MRS. MAYOR

We don't mean to scold you. We love you, oh, yes, dear.

But couldn't you try thinking just a bit less, dear?

MR. MAYOR

Stop telling such outlandish tales.

MRS. MAYOR

Stop turning minnows into whales.

MR. MAYOR

Now take your bath and go to bed.

MRS. MAYOR

And think some Normal Thinks instead.
