The Clicky Foot Switch

I slipped back inside from the patio and found a mysterious black plastic disc sitting right on the living room rug! It was wired to the tall brass floor lamp, featuring a round button that looked practically designed for a brave wooden foot. I leaped straight onto it with both feet—CLICK! A warm beam of light burst over the whole corner, startling me so completely that I tumbled backward directly into the soft cloth pocket of a low magazine basket. Well, tumbling headfirst was merely my celebratory indoor somersault! Now I am peeking out over the glossy edge of an art catalogue, perfectly cozy while admiring how that tiny button controls such a huge shower of light.
