somebody like Joan Collins for example
the unexpected silence
gobsmacks the audience
the aged actress trying with some difficulty
to remember her pantomime lines
in that dreadful silence
lasting for the kind of moment that seems like an eternity
she looking as pitiful as Pagliacci
though the old magic had gone
and the majority of those seated
were about to join in a slow handclap
there were still her die-hard fans out there in the crowd
remembering her glory days
and while knowing that this blooper wasn't part of the performance
took no part in the mockery
generous with patience
they waited.
This was their way of thanking her
for many long ago pleasures
she had brought to their lives.

MC/Steve/and my usual motley crew 😆 cheers!
this incident actually did take place during a panto my biggies took me to see, however, the name of the actress eludes me since I was only knee-high to my biggies big toes at the time
I had more important concerns at that point as in when were 'those two' going to wack the goodies out!? 😂
