A Big Blue Smile

A chunky stick of bright blue sidewalk chalk was waiting right beside the curb of the park promenade! I marched onto the wide stone paving slabs, tucked my black microphone securely under my left elbow, and gripped the chalk with both plush hands. Scritch, scratch! I leaned all my weight forward and swept my arms in a wide arc. A thick blue circle bloomed across the grey slate! I filled in two round dot eyes, two bouncy cheek swirls, and a huge curving grin that stretched from edge to edge. A cheerful chalk friend was smiling right back up at me!
