The Little Rocker Switch

My stubby feet carried me back inside after a long day out! I scrambled up onto the bedside table and found a tiny bedside reading lamp with a neat rocker switch set into its cord. Click! One side sank, and a soft warm beam bathed the polished wood. Clack! I threw my whole weight onto the other side, and darkness swooped right back. On, off, on, off! Click-clack, tap-tap! My feet kept a quick rhythmic shuffle on the nightstand until my eyelids drooped. I finally flopped back against a stacked paperback book, basking in the cozy glow.
