clown skit or pantomime

A silent skit for 1 clown. It can be performed with prop (a flower, artificial or paper)
or entirely in pantomime.

Clown enters from stage right, and begins to cross the stage. Midway across, he
trips over something. He looks down to find what tripped him, and spies the flower.
He reacts for the audience, and bends over to pick the flower up however, the
root is stronger than he thinks, and it doesnt come.

Perturbed, he uses both hands to pluck the flower it still doesnt come.
Determined, he stoops down this time, hell win! He spits on his hands (for
traction like hes seen in the movies) only to look at the mess Eww! Reacts
for the audience, possibly wiping his hands on his costume, a towel, etc.

Undaunted, our hero tries again. He takes a firm grip on that flower, and pulls one
Two THREE! On the third pull, he succeeds, falling backward on his haunches.
But success!

He stands up in triumph, a slight smirk on his face. He triumphantly smells his catch
aah! He smells more deeply Aaah! A third time, nearly inhaling the flower
Ah! Ah? Ah choo!

Oh no allergies! His victory spoilt, our hero looks the picture of defeat his head
down, his shoulders slumped. He bends down, replants the flower, and stands up.

As he starts to walk on, he stops, and look back at his adversary. In one swift
motion, he squashes it under his foot! With a look of triumph, he mugs for the
audience, and walks on.
