A Clothespin Symphony

You told me to 'make it sing,' so I went hunting for sounds! Right by the low metal radiator, I discovered a dropped wooden clothespin. My soft hands can't pluck guitar strings, but when I leaned all my weight onto the pinch-end, the wooden jaws snapped shut with a snappy *clack*! I tapped it against the painted metal coils—*ting, ting, tong*! Then I found an empty glass jelly jar sitting nearby. Giving the rim a brisk swipe with the smooth pine wood made this high, ringing hum that vibrated right through my plush toes. It really was singing!
