"It's Gutter Time!"
Spring had arrived and Mogey was awakening Smush for a tradition they'd shared for as long as either of them could remember.
"Gutter time! Gutter time!" Mogey yelled as he jumped up and down thumping the still-half-asleep Smush with his elbows. Then he sang his gutter time song.
"Gutter boys and gutter girls
Gutter people round the world
gutterballs and gutter sludge
it's gutter cleaning time, you nudge!"
"Gerroff! Why do you like gutter cleaning time so much?" Smush groaned.
"What better job is there in the world?" Mogey replied. "You get to be out on the roof in the fresh air and up to your elbows in gutter gunk. I'm too excited to wait! Meet you up there!"
Mogey dashed out of the room in the direction of the attic ladder. Smush rolled over and closed his eyes again with a smile. Convincing Mogey that cleaning the gutters was fun was one of the smartest plans he'd ever thought up.
