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 – v2

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
