Wild Coil Rodeo

I trotted down to the corner playground and locked eyes with the ultimate ride: a bright yellow spring rocker shaped like a bumblebee, perched on a massive coiled steel spring. Challenge accepted. I scrambled up the footpeg, wedged my telephone base safely into the curve of the seat, and threw a leg over the saddle. Grabbing the cold metal handlebar with one hand, I threw all my weight back and forth until the spring caught the rhythm. Sproing-boing-sproing! The whole contraption whipped into a chaotic, hilarious wobble. I clamped my receiver tight against my ear, hollering with total glee as my cloak flapped in the breeze. Pure playground velocity!
