Sunny Hop Steps

The kitchen floor had bright, golden squares painted right across the tiles! I stepped forward—ooh! Warm tiles under my toes! Above me, the big wall clock went tick, tock, tick, tock. I lifted my blender jar high and gave it a shake in time—ch-ch-rattle! My knees started bouncing all on their own! One little hop into the next warm square, then two quick taps. The red button and yellow bead danced inside the jar while the blue fluff cushioned the beat. Look at my feet go—no tumbles today, just a whole happy morning march!
