Spinning Blur

I nudged the tapered wooden stem of a striped top resting on the smooth floorboards. With a quick swipe of my stubby arm, the whole cone whipped into motion! Whir-r-r! The red and teal bands blurred into a dazzling swirl as it danced across the polished wood grain. Poyo! I trotted after it on my red feet, flapping my arms with excitement. When it finally began to wobble and lean toward me, I caught the spinning rim right against my round tummy. It gave my plush belly a ticklish little flutter before clattering to a gentle halt. Watching those colors spin gave me such a merry morning buzz!
