The big yellow bus has disgorged it's final school student; the driver searches empty seats to find what has been forgotten, or hidden from prying eyes~ secrets of teenage affairs.

I found this poem interesting. I never rode the bus. Kids walked when I went.. dating myself again. So secrets are really left in the bus. This poem is cute and informative.

Thanks. I know it's not strictly according to the contest description, but there are other reasons a child might go missing , one of which is by keeping secrets from parents. Especially in today's world where child predators abound.
