Day 24 - The Amulet

It was a tiring day on zoom calls, so she flopped onto her chair,
surrounded by her rabbits and her cats and her bear.
The bear was just a teddy but the rest were very real
and once she had unwound a bit, she'd ask them how they feel.

They couldn't answer freely, well not at first of course.
She had to place the amulet around their head and paws. 
She took it from her own neck where it had been kept all day 
and hung it round the nearest cat whom she called Mrs Fey.

The power of the amulet allowed the cat to talk.
And tell its human all the things that happened on her walk.
Like the hikers by the cow field who were too scared to cross.
They didn't know if cows were safe and they were at a loss.

Until Ms Simpson with 5 kids came down the other way
and walked straight pass the cowherd with her infants. No delay.
And only when they saw her pass with little children bored,
did they gather up the courage to walk past that bovine horde.

"Of course I told that herd of cows to chase them just a little,
right at the point in that green field when they had reached the middle".
She thanked her cat for her tall tale and passed the crystal on
to Flopsy May her rabbit friend who liked to sing in song . 

She sang a song of lettuce so poignant and profound
about the deep connection twixt the lettuce and the ground. 
And all throughout the evening the amulet was passed.
When everyone had got to speak she fell asleep at last.

Right there upon the armchair, until her phone did ring
And woke her from her restful doze, her boyfriend dialling in.
She picked it up forgetting that her charm was on a bunny
and when she tried to speak to him it came out rather funny.

Oh bloomin bloody hell she thought, while squawking down the line,
I have to find the amulet or he'll think I'm not fine.
At that point Mopsy came along, she grabbed it from his fuzz
and put it on so she could speak just like a human does.
