Stop Light Operators Go On Strike, 'Bring Back Casual Friday' Headlines Read

the little mice that operate traffic lights recently went on strike. they said it was the working conditions, but if we're being honest, I think it was because last year the city banned casual fridays. have you ever seen a mouse try to put a tie on? It's a tough ask for their little paws. anyway, in their absence, the city emergency hired frogs to code-switch reds & greens. it's great to see little amphibians march to work in their ties, but their clammy little hands are a traffic terror.

I love the imagery in this one! I like the fact it worked out ok with another species getting the recognition and chance they deserved at the end too :D

This one was inspired by your "mechanics of the mundane" poem! I thought it was a really fun idea to explore the machines we take for granted everyday, and have fun with them : ) I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'm happy for the frogs too
