(IRIS.) <br /> <br />DADDY dear, I'm only four <br />And I'd rather not be more: <br />Four's the nicest age to be-- <br />Two and two, or one and three. <br /> <br />All I love is two and two, <br />Mother, Fabian, Paul and you; <br />All you love is one and three, <br />Mother, Fabian, Paul and me. <br /> <br />Give your little girl a kiss <br />Because she learned and told you this.<br /><br />Edith Nesbit<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/birthday-talk-for-a-child/
