Tinker Posted May 8, 2017 Author Share Posted May 8, 2017 Haiku Journal 2017 jvg #14 just as school lets out orange tractor drives by smart phones click away Sorry I couldn't resist, I was talking with my daughter in law by mobile phone while she was picking up my middle school granddaughter. This poor guy jams up school pickup traffic moving his tractor to a job nearby. He couldn't have chosen a worse time, apparently kids were pulling out their phones and clicking away. My own granddaughter was one of them, she sent the photo to me via text to shoe me why they were laughing. At least that is all she did. She said that SnapChat, Instagram and Facebook are being blown up with various photos of "the orange tractor". I know it's hot out there big guy but wear a hat and keep your shirt on while driving slowly by 400 13 and 14 year olds just getting out of school, all with smart phones.
