Over the Orange Cone – v2

He didn’t know it when he placed it
the worker gathering them up
a challenge for the children
for each one in turn.

Walking to their school van
playing follow the leader
straddling the orange cone
barely clearing its top.

Good thing it was a short one
or they would have had to stop
following the leader
when the leader was too tall.

Over the Orange Cone
watching five kindergarteners and first graders
following the after school daycare worker
walking across the parking lot
following their leader
wherever he may go
