A quotation from A. A. Milne

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.

A. A. Milne (1882-1956) English poet and playwright [Alan Alexander Milne]
Now We Are Six, “The End” (1927)
