BEING FIVE by Dennis Lee
I’m not exactly big,
And I’m not exactly little,
But being five is best of all
Because it’s in the middle.
A person likes to ride his bike
Around the block a lot,
And being five is big enough
And being four is not.
And then he likes to settle down
And suck his thumb a bit,
And being five is small enough,
But when you’re six you quit.
I’ve thought about it in my mind -
Being five, I mean -
And why I like it best of all
Is ‘cause it’s In Between.
This is a poem someone emailed me a while back. I think it is precious. It kind of goes with the whole kindergarten theme, even though Emma is almost 6. Here are some pics of Emma on her first day!
