I spot it!
Millions of feet away.
There! Up high!
This is truly my day!
Tiptoe on the chair.
I’d better beware!
I’m climbing this mountain top.
There’s no time to spare.
Balance, stretch, easy …
Look around. Is mom back yet?
Paranoia stalks me …
In three minutes she’ll be back, I bet.
The purring of the cat.
On the floor there it stares
With fuzzy fur, whacky whiskers
It glares and it glares.

Shaking a bit, my arm I stretch,
Sweat dripping from brow.
Pulling my whole body
I’m beyond elation now.
Something cool on my hand
Nearly there … Can’t linger …
Got to be steady.
Reaching with my index finger.
Looking through the transparent jar,
Terribly tired but nonetheless
I really can’t believe it!
I’m proud of my success!
I’m no longer a rookie.
From the jar, I got my cookie!
