Tuesday I Was Ten
Tuesday I was ten, and though The fact delights me plenty, It sort of
startles me to know I’m now a half of twenty.
It’s nice to own a bigger bike With brakes along the wheels And figure
skates (the kind I like) And shoes with little heels, And have a real
allowance, too, To make me wise and thrifty;
But still, I can’t believe (can you?) I’m now a fifth of fiftyI
Although an age like ten appears Quite young and un-adventure-y, My
gosh! In only ninety years My age will be a century!
