Jumping Hurdles

Merrily, my soda hopped, skipped …rolled merrily along, jumping hurdles of falling leaves, sloping t’wards steep driveway. The bottle, fizzing, shaken up - merrily, as I watched it’s descent, hoping it would stop, not hop the boundary. My neighbor, not the sort to laugh. Congregation of leaves held it back, so no disaster. Merrily I retrieved.
