A Morning Prismatic Spin

Waddling back inside from the terrace, I spotted an empty crystal glass tumbler sitting upside down on the low wooden coffee table. Morning light was streaming straight through its heavy cut-glass facets! Tiptoeing close, I pushed a stray brass button with both fuzzy green hands until it slid right up against the curved rim. When I nudged the glass gently, it turned with a light rasping hum across the polished wood, instantly projecting shimmering streaks of cyan, amber, and gold all over the carpet. I couldn't resist doing a cheerful little hop right in the middle of my fresh indoor rainbow!
