The Cabaret Girl

In the cabaret hall of the Hotel, the stage was set for her 'Night Show', the hall was lit but not so bright dim it was and made to look so to give an air of weird intoxication tables and chairs were arranged for the guests who 'd reserved to drink and dine and watch the show of the night The guests at last arrived And had occupied their chairs reserved, And the stage was set for the much awaited cabaret show to take off Suddenly the hall plunged into quietude, The curtains of the cabaret stage went up And there was music pouring from a corner of the stage from an orchestra of local repute, and there she appeared the cabaret girl, the star of the night in her shiny glittering robe with feathers round her waist.....and she began to dance soon, the dance of twists and jerks that went as if unstoppable with the dancing beauty showing apparently no signs of tiredness, until the clock struck 12 O'CLOCK When suddenly, the lights went off and the hall plunged into darkness and there was a lull, and there appeared a bundle of a focussed stream of light pointing to the girl dancing as she began the last item of the day...'the strip-tease' and she remained devoid of her robes for a few seconds and disappeared into the stage ........... Into the green room, she sank into her couch, a tired and lustreless woman cursing her fate
