Kitchen Percussion Test

Five metal bottle caps were scattered upside-down right under the cabinet edge! I stepped right over and nudged them into a neat semicircle with my base. Clink! The first one rattled crisply against the tile. Naturally, I laid down a five-beat routine! I hopped from cap to cap—one, two, three, four, five! Each tin lid bounced with a slightly different pitch against the ceramic floor. On the fifth cap, I landed flat with both corners to let out a loud, ringing finale that echoed all the way into the dining room!
