Rolling Chrome Basket

Scrambling past the sidewalk, I ducked right under the propped glass door into the humming laundromat! Warm air, soapy smells, and rows of tumbling glass windows! Right in the aisle sat a towering chrome laundry cart on squeaky caster wheels! Hitch, pull, hoist! Up the tubular leg I scrambled, looping both long orange arms over the wire basket rim. I planted my yellow feet against the slick floor and gave one massive running kick—whoosh! The cart glided across the tiles with a rattling clatter-clatter-hum! Did you hear those wheels roar?! I hooked my yellow toes into the lower wire mesh and rode the runaway chariot straight past the dryers!
