"Now We Are Six"

When I was one,
I had just begun.

When I was two,

I was nearly new.

When I was three,

I was hardly me.

When I was four,

I was not much more.

When I was five,

I was just alive.

But now I am six,

I'm as clever as clever.

So I think I'll be six

now and forever.

-- A. A. Milne

A poem from a book of my childhood.  Especially pertinent these days.
