Ding and Roll!

I marched out past the front gate and zoomed straight toward a kid's scooter leaning against the hedge! Hop, scramble, boing! I launched my square body right onto the ribbed rubber deck. My yellow foot gave the sidewalk an energetic push—skrrrrt! The wheels rolled forward two whole inches, and—whoops! My red hand smacked right into the shiny bell on the handlebar! DING-A-LING! The sudden chime made me do a startled double bounce! Did I tumble? Not a chance! I struck a proud pose right on the footboard: 'Roll and ring, scooter spring, ready for anything!' Best ride on the block!
