Why squirrels make bad politicians

6/14/2017

I would be more comfortable with the squirrel who lives in my yard if he looked less guilty all the time. Whenever I see him he's nervously skittering off with awkwardly stuffed cheeks. I'm not saying he's smuggling illicit substances but he reminds me of a rascal politician and I wouldn't be surprised to flip on CSPAN and find him being grilled in senate investigation hearings.
​
The neighborhood tomcat has probably committed worse crimes, but he makes no apologies. Every time I find him manspreading on my porch, languidly fondling a decapitated mouse, I think, "You, my dear, could have a successful career in politics."

    My name is Nasreen Yazdani.   I used to write micro essays, one-liners, and other small, lighthearted things. Most of them were funny.  

    Now I'm working on a book of stories.  The emotional range is... wilder.
