The Pom-Pom Nest

I trotted inside from the chilly porch and hauled myself onto the wooden entryway bench, spotting a chunky knitted winter beanie sitting beside a scarf. Right on its top was a gigantic, fluffy yarn pom-pom! Naturally, a silly monster had to inspect the fluff. I scrambled over the ribbed hem and wriggled feet-first straight into the stretchy knit crown. Squeeeze! The thick wool wrapped around my tummy like a warm hug. I leaned forward and wrapped both arms around the giant pom-pom, burying my chin deep into the fuzzy yarn ball. It tickled my nose so much that a fountain of quiet monster-giggles bubbled right out of me!
