Somehow I used the word 'person'
which he seemed not to understand
so I tried to explain with examples
but it didn't go quite as planned.
We both agreed that his mummy
was a person and daddy too
but certainly not his sister's dummy,
his train or his toy kangaroo.
And as for himself, was he one?
He didn't seem any too sure.
Well, what could he do that his toys just couldn't?
He sat and pondered some more.
Eat? Walk? Talk? might he have brooded?
Then - Eureka! finally .
He pursed his lips and his tongue protruded -
a person can blow a raspberry.
