A Rolled-up Route

Down from the nightstand I went, sliding right down a stray cord to the floorboards! Right near the rug, I bumped into a shiny metal tape measure resting flat on the ground. A little round yellow button sat right in the center, gleaming like an invitation. I hopped both boots directly onto it with a quick snap! Zip! The thin metal strip hissed back into its case in a silver flash, giving my soles a tiny jolt that tossed me right into a soft tumble on the rug. Ha-ha, what a spring! I rolled back onto my feet and gave the round casing an appreciative pat.
