Grand Birthday Parade

I grabbed a bright yellow paper scrap from the desk blotter and marched straight for the tall hallway floor lamp to set up our big theme park boulevard! With a pencil nub pressed between my paws, I scribbled a jaunty duck bill and a bold '50' across the square, wedging it neatly behind the lamp's switch knob like an official celebratory street sign. Every festival needs a grand marshal, so I hoisted a red-and-white striped paper straw over my shoulder like a marching baton and strutted down the patterned runner rug, belting out a snappy rhythm for the big bash. Tonight's main street spectacular is officially rolling!
