Teaspoon See-Saw

I zoomed right out from under the paperback book and crossed the smooth brass transition strip into the kitchen! The pale linoleum floor was cool, slick, and wide open. Resting right beside the cabinet kickboard lay a dropped stainless steel teaspoon, its curved handle tilted upward like an angled ramp. Balance beam discovered! Beep beep! I throttled my rear wheels, lined up my bumper, and rolled straight onto the narrow metal ridge. Squeak-tilt! My front tires crossed the tipping point and the round bowl tapped the floor with a crisp clack, rocking me and my duck passenger back and forth like a mini carnival ride. Honk-honk!
