Can you picture it already?

Today I cleaned and polished all my leather shoes, most of them more than a year overdue. I lined them all up in the back hall so I could move down the row and by colour.

Twinkle Afar spots the line of shoes
She takes her position
She winds up and....
She takes off down the hall, zoom!
and ---
L--E--A--P
over *all* the shoes
She does it, she cleared them! And she is prancing away in triumph.
But wait,
she's turning around at the other end, and
look,
she's crouching for another go,
here she comes..... what a mighty take off!
YES!!!
Twice in a row!
Twinkle AFar is truly the Shoe Jumping Queen.
Ah, now.
Does she have what it takes to go for three??

[yes, she did. And four. And more...]
