Morning Route Inspection

I popped up from beside the heavy pebble and gave my wings a good morning stretch! Our paper flyer was still pinned down flat and secure against the porch floor, but the brisk morning breeze had swept a scattering of brittle, dry brown leaves all around our outdoor dispatch station! A messy runway is an insult to pizza delivery excellence! I braced my plush yellow feet against the weathered wood, tucked my wings forward like an eager broom, and began shuffling rapidly back and forth across the deck. Scritch-scratch! I herded every crunchy leaf away from the mat, piling them into a neat golden mound right beside the flowerpot base. Now our outdoor route is clean, crisp, and open for business!
