Sherry Thrasher

Poetry is in my blood. Literally speaking, poetry is in my blood. My middle name is "Lynette" after Alfred Lord Tenneyson's "Gareth and Lynette. I'm not quite sure of the origin of my first name. If I were to reach way back, I might recall that my mother's, friend's, sister shared my name (or rather I shared hers.) My daddy gave me "Smothers." He said way back the name was changed from something to Smothers and that something's someone rode with Jesse James. My daddy was a fisherman and he could have stretched the truth.
