Why Uhm would never make it as a newsie...

I was watching them all dance in "Carryin' da Banner" and I realized why I would never make it as a newsie.  Ahem.. here we go. Weeell. To be a newsie (a newsie that shakes their groove thang) you hafta have cordination.  Like, did ya see how they seem to work with one another?  One ducks and the other goes over without any words?  Yeah, so they were choreographed but that's besides the point. Well, let's just say I was dancing.  And someone for some strange reason stuck their foot out.  Let's make this someone Jack.  Then I, unknowing of the leg, stomp on it instead of hopping over it in a super cool way.  Which, in turn, breaks Jacks leg. It also causes me to fall right into Bumlets, knocking the poor boy over.  He hits his head off the ground so hard that his hat goes flying (which would cause probelms on the mailing list because.. well, one word: Blaze). It soars through the sky heading right for Itey who at that very moment was belting out one long high C.  He sees the hat and decides to try a bite.  But hats are definitely tougher to eat then suspenders!  So, poor Itey begins to choke on Bumlets hat! Crutchy, feeling the need to be heroic, begins to give Itey the hemlic.  He needs to throw his crutch away but the adrenline of the moment makes him throw it very far. So far that it pokes Blinks one good eye out!  OH NO! BLINK CAN'T SEE!  The boy screams very high then starts running around.  Everyone tries to get outta his way but Les doesn't make it on time! Les is smushed causing massive blood shed.  Boots sees this and faints because as we are all well aware... Boots can't stand blood. .......................... So there we go, half the Newsies are down and all because I can't dance!
