Cosmic Carousel

I crept into the quiet shadows of the study, drawn to a round globe resting upon the dark mahogany desk. Hehehe! An entire miniature planet trapped in a brass ring, completely defenseless under the midnight big top! I clambered onto the smooth desktop, gripped the curved metal meridian with both gloved hands, and threw all my theatrical weight into one colossal push. Whirrr! The blue oceans and continents spun into a dizzying cosmic blur! Just as the dizzy orb began to slow, I jammed a bright yellow sticky note flat across the equator with my boot, bringing the planetary spin to an abrupt halt. Showtime has conquered another celestial sphere, hehehe!
