SIX
Well, well, I never! Who’d a’ thoughtA boy’d grow so quick’sThis fellow has! Law sakes alive,The buster’s grown to six!He was a little baby, andHe had such funny tricks!But, oh, dear me! the baby’s gone,And here’s a boy of six!I’ve seen him lie upon the floor,And lift up howls and kicks;But now he is a gentleman,—No crying when you’re six!When grown so large, boys must be tough,Just regular little bricks;No tears for any bumps or hurts,When one is big and six!—Minot J. Savage.

He was a little baby, and
He had such funny tricks!
But, oh, dear me! the baby’s gone,
And here’s a boy of six!
I’ve seen him lie upon the floor,And lift up howls and kicks;But now he is a gentleman,—No crying when you’re six!

Just regular little bricks;
No tears for any bumps or hurts,
