A! Alligator begins with A!

For the nth time, her mom thanked technology.
Sashi commenced her pounding on the keys randomly.
“B!” (A tiny voice echoes, “B”.)
“Bear, begins with B!”
(“B”, there the echo goes again.)

The pounding continue until her favorite letter appeared.
O! Ostrich begins with O!
As a consequence, any letter “O” amidst other Greek (to her) symbols
would never escape her confident exclaims of, “O!”
Then “R” and “A” joined her list.
“And to think, she’s barely 22 months old”, her mom proudly thinks.

(Insistent pounding in the background is heard.)
P! Penguin begins with………….
(Voice fades away.)

“Isn’t life simply beautiful?”, someone whispers,
as the whisperer slowly and blissfully dozed off.
Or was it me?
