I was going for that Dr. Suess effect. Didn't want to lay it on too thick at the start though. Notice how it slowly turned into that? Yeah. Pure skill.
It wasn't my inner voice though. Neighbors sent their kid to ask for a roll, and my imagination later took over once I was laughing at a thought about what if that was a little person who rides a dog... Then I thought: There must be a way to ramble long enough to make that one thought an actual story. Viola!
I hope you don't have any other close neighbors - don't want word getting around: Go beg a roll off that house, he's got the good stuff - extra soft. He might look at you a little funny, like he's imagining you hopping on the back of your dog, but it's worth it.
