Asher …… [a Little Boy’s Words; True; Short] Poem by Bri Edwards

Asher was a little boy of THREE ……,
about whom my stepdaughter ….. told me.
She and her mom met him at a party,
and both thought he was a little ‘smarty’.
‘Smarty’ as in a boy with facts to share.
I believed her, though I was not there.

He said he lived where there were sheep.
I think “sheep” is what she said; I was NOT asleep!
And he had a dog, in fact a great BIG dog,
and Asher said he also had at home a frog.

And at the party, up a mountain drive [steep],
were windows, outside which the owner did keep ….
several hummingbird feeders to feed those tiny birds,
the birds almost too amazing to describe with words.

Rufous hummingbirds, nearly half a dozen,
came to the feeders. They came ……., their tiny wings buzzin’.
Someone watching the feeders said “hummingbird”,
and after a while little Asher, too, said the word.

Yes, the little guy impressed Nona. It is true.
[BUT I probably impressed MORE people when I was …..TWO! ]
