The Click Farm Not Taken

On my daily commute to work,

I turn onto a US highway

And for whatever reason,

Google Maps always shows that intersection

As being very congested.

By this road, there is a warehouse,

And one day, my wife suggested

That this fake congestion might be because

The mysterious warehouse is hiding

One of those click farms

(For those who don't know,

a click farm is where they line up hundreds of phones

and have workers like and comment on social media posts.

All of the phones in one place can trick Google

into thinking there's a lot of cars there.)

There is one problem with this theory,

Which is that the warehouse is on the left,

And Google shows no congestion there.

On the right, there's just an open field,

And the closest building is a swimming pool down the road.

And hence we decided

The most obvious answer

Is that this click farm

Is deep underground

Hidden under this field

Run by star-nosed mole people

With a secret entrance from the swimming pool.
