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 for ever and ever.

("The End" by A. A. Milne)

Happy Birthday Madeleine Kate. Here's hoping you do really stay six for ever and ever.
