The Sneakers O'tool

A mountain of giant rubber sneakers blocked the path straight to the front door! I locked both hands onto the steering wheel, built up speed along the cool hallway tiles, and leaned hard into a sharp left turn. Swoosh! My kart drifted smoothly around the curved rubber heel of an athletic shoe, tires humming against the slick surface. A tangled shoelace dangled right across the lane, but a quick flick of the wheel nudged it harmlessly aside. With one final burst of momentum, my wheels rolled right onto the prickly bristles of the welcome mat with a satisfying mechanical rattle!
