and proudly too: (in the spirit of f.christian, (except for scan, meter and diction, of course))
When I was one I was 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 barely alive,
But now I am six, and as clever as clever,
So I think I'll stay six now forever and ever
