A Ring of Citrus Bells

I scrambled straight out of my sofa den and trotted over to the sunny kitchen counter! Resting on the thick wooden cutting board was a long, curly peel from a sweet yellow lemon, coiled up like a bright springy snake. I didn't wait a single second! Scooping up the peel with both plush paws, I looped one twisted end over an upright wooden toothpick left in a small ceramic dish. It hung suspended in midair, wobbling back and forth like a sunny yellow chime! When I tapped the curl with my knuckles, a fresh zesty mist puffed right into my face. I tumbled onto my bottom with a loud, bouncy chuckle!
