Animal Protector Count

There are millions of animal protectors she said.
I had no words; but knew it was not true.
She can be arrogant, bossy and rude.
I kept my mouth shut.

Maybe thousands of animal protectors, she said.
Backing up slightly.
I did not speak.
Hundreds of animal protectors? She guessed.

If we kept going along these routes, she might
luck into the right answer. There are only sixty-two
that I know of.

Someone obviously needed some enlightenment, I think. When she got to sixty-two, I hope you nodded assent.

She never got there; she gave up due to my lack of participation in her guesstimates.
