Harvey

Harvey

Me : Harvey?

Harvey : Hello

Me: You’re always with me Harvey aren’t you?

Harvey: Humm, I suppose I am, yeah.

Me: Why is that Harvey? I’m happy you’re here and all, it’s not as if you get in the way or anything, I know I’m the only one who can see you.

Harvey: Yup.

Me: But how did this happen? Why are you here and why me?

Harvey : I don’t know why, I’m only a rabbit and a small one at that.

Me: Yes , in the film with Jimmy Stewart, you were six feet weren’t you?

Harvey : Yup, but that was just a film , that was make believe.

Me: So you think you’re real , not make believe?

Harvey: I don’t know, but I know I’m not in a film or on TV or anything like that.

Me: No, we’re not I suppose.(looks down at the ground). Sometimes things feel unreal though.

Harvey : I’d like to be able to tell you why I’m here , but I don’t really know. It’s fun following you about ;that’s all.

Me: Well you are a good friend and you don’t bother me , so I’m happy that you follow me around. You’re very good at getting out of the way, particularly of fast cars, you’ve got good road sense.

Harvey: Comes with the territory.

Me: I suppose it’s daft to ask too many questions isn’t it?

Harvey : No, it’s not daft , it’s just sometimes the answer isn’t always available or maybe there isn’t an answer at all : at the end of the day, I’m just a rabbit.

Me: To me you are Harvey. You’re a very interesting rabbit. Would you like me to rub your ears?

Harvey : Oh yes please, that is one of the perks of this job.

Me: (rubs Harvey’s ears)

Harvey: Hhhmmmn….

Me: Shall we go to the Park, it would be nice to get some fresh air.

Harvey: Yup, why not.
