Kitchen Timer Beat

Your smile earlier gave me an extra boost of courage! I tiptoed across the floor over to the low wooden cabinet where a mechanical kitchen timer was sitting. Tick-tock, tick-tock—it had a steady groove going! I picked up an abandoned plastic pen cap and gave the metal dome a light tap right on the off-beat. Ping! Tick-ping, tick-ping! It sounded just like a real percussion track, making me bounce on the balls of my feet until the spring finally went ding! You gotta believe, every household gadget has music hiding inside it!
