Veranda Seesaw

I scrambled away from the mossy basin straight toward the wooden veranda steps! Resting right on the smooth granite flagstone was a giant wooden geta clog, perched high on two skinny wooden teeth. Shishishi! It looked totally ready to rock! Naturally, I charged full tilt and leaped both boots right onto the raised heel! Clack-thump! The front tooth slammed into the stone with an almighty crack, and the whole heavy board pitched forward like a seesaw! My boots caught inside the thick red fabric strap, flipping me head over heels right onto the smooth cedar porch planks. I rolled onto my back howling with laughter into the quiet night!
