Stuck In An Elevator

I am stuck in an elevator with Cher, Tina Turner, Bette Midler, Pink, Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga when Liza Minnelli drops in from a tiny opening in the roof. We all scream “LIZA!” and then we whip out our instruments. To be fair, I do not have one to whip out, but I find a spoon in my purse And a lid to a small sauce pan. Please do not ask. This would add to my embarrassment. They start saying “how about this one?” until Pink wins. We sing her songs. All of them. They stop playing in the third set. “Who is clapping off rhythm?” It boils down to me. The elevator roof trap door opens and Willie Nelson arrives. He and I agree we are on rhythm And all the rest of them are wrong. Best elevator ride ever!
