The SOK - Ladies are struttin’ across the stage in flimsy attire twirlin’ their fluffy feathers. (snortin’ and laughin’ as they try to keep in step)

The SOK - boys sidestep onto the stage wearing their top hats ~ wigglin’ their hips to the beat of the music!

Clink – ity clink, heel-toe….slide

Clink – ity clink, heel-toe….slide

Clink – ity clink, heel-toe….slide

Clink – ity clink, bump… Oops..sorry, slide

Clink – ity thump, trip, fall, slide…. weeeeeeeeeeee

An unnamed SOK-member of the chorus line ~ trips when the fluffy wrap gets caught on her shiny ground grippers!

She stumbles knocking the next ~

Who, in turn, knocks the next ~

who knocks the next ~

and so on.

thumpiddy, thump, crash, boom, bang, flip-floppin’ … .slide … weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Fling, flung, bop, crash, swoosh, boink ~~~~~>

Oops, there she goes ~~~~~> swirl, swirl, swirl, plop!
Eeeee ~ ouch!!!!!!!!

The music stops ~ She sits wide-eyed resting on her hiney…

Not a sound is heard ~

Suddenly, an Elder sashays across the stage, extends her arm and helps the SOK’ster to her feet ~

Facing the fallen member, she smiles and says ~

Life may not always be a Cabaret, Old Q-Chum - but it should be!

Don’t quit! Try again…you can do it!

Now on with the show!

The audience went wild ~ applause filled the room

The fallen SOK’ster brushed herself off and began struttin’ again with her new found confidence!

When you’re around, my friends ~ Life is a Smoke free Cabaret!

May whispers of kindness always touch your heart ~ extend your hand and help another!
