Rocking Chair Rodeo

Slipped past the screen door crack into the morning draft! Right by the railing sat a giant wooden rocking chair with tall white slats reaching up like a ladder! Target locked! I launched off the floor, flapped furiously, and slammed both talons onto the top curved crest rail! WHOA! The whole wooden monster groaned and tilted violently forward! We plunged toward the floorboards, then swooped backward in a massive, dizzy arc! Back, forth, sweeping through the porch air! I crouched low, talons dug into the chipped paint, wings flared wide to catch the rush! Conquered the swinging watchtower!
