Ficlets

Squirrel

On side of road:

Wait for it…Wait for it…go, go, go!

Stop, stop, stop! Big, noisy thing coming.

Run up tree. Flick, flick flick.

Run up to edge. Wait for it…Wait for it…go, go, go!

Stop, stop, stop! Big, noisy thing coming.

Run up tree. Flick, flick flick.

Chicken said I could do this. He said it was easy.

Stupid chicken….

Inside car:

“Look darling, that poor squirrel is trying to cross the road,” the wife said with some pity. “This road is so busy!”

“Well, I hope he has better luck then that chicken.” replied the husband.
