Tangle with the Cord

I charged straight under the coffee table to claim new turf, but a thick black phone charger cord dared to drape right across my runway! I didn't back down. I reared back and drove a hard paper kick straight into its rubbery belly. The silly snake barely budged—it just whipped back and hooked onto my foot! I flailed, threw a wild flurry of jabs into the empty air, and twisted until I yanked myself free. It didn't win, but boy, my cardboard shins are buzzing!
