Humming with the Cooler

A low hum called me over to the shiny refrigerator! Hummm... mm-mm! I shuffled my plush base closer along the cool linoleum floor until my fabric tummy pressed lightly against the metallic side panel. It was buzzing! A tiny, gentle rattle shook right through my pot. I immediately held stiff, then tilted my stem to mirror the vibration—buzzzz! Right beneath me sat a stray magnetic clip that had slipped off the door. Every time the fridge pulsed, the little clip clattered softly against the baseboard. Tick-hum, tick-hum! I bobbed in sync until the motor suddenly clicked quiet, leaving me swaying in proud silence.
