Poem
Standing round the ritual fire, white smoke then black entwinning higher, she takes the book up from the floor, the spell to open heavens door, This chant kept secret for so long, in her evil hands did not belong, her intentions were to create despair, her words to be carried upwards on cold night air. Without a hint of hesitation, she began the ancient incantation... "I have bathed in water near, that crystal clear my words you'll hear, to the eyes of this enchanted seer, heavens entrance now appear" She waited as her words ascended, to fuflill the wrath that she intended, with anticipation as she watched, the door appeared, but it was locked. "This can not be right" the seer spat, her temper unleashed upon her cat, "I saw no mention in the book, but wait I'll take another look" She read again the spell she'd cast, 'To obtain the key you need a cat' How could I of missed that line, she wondered as she sipped her wine, her cat already had run away, maybe there was another way? "To gain the key to heavens door I cast this spell just once more, with the crucial part evading me, instead of a cat I use this bee" With eyes a glow she watched and waited, the key soon to appear she anticipated, in a puff of smoke that cleared to see, her spell had summoned up an old oak tree. It's branches thick, it's leaves so green, much taller than she'd ever seen, on the highest branch could it be? a golden glistening hanging key. She knew now what must be done, began climbing branches, one by one, "this tree will not get the best of me, I am going to have that key" Closer and closer, going higher and higher, evil spurned her on with it's desire. At last a branch away the key, she was mesmerised by what she see's, she reached out her hand without a sound, as the key suddenly fell to the ground. "Damn and blast, what game is this", she cursed and ranted, spat and hissed, with angry words, her face a frown, she began her long descent down. Finally she reached the base, out of breath and flushed of face, she looked around but could not see, where was that damned elusive key. For years that followed she looked and searched, from north to east upon the earth, from south to west and back again, she never saw that key again. What happened to the key you ask?I thought you may of wondered that, the answer is within the spell, you must of worked it out by now, 'To obtain the key you need a cat' surely you remember that, he caught the key as it fell, and where is pussy? he's down the well!
