A Little Counting Rhyme

 

 

 

So, here it comes - another birthday date.

Are you the same or have you changed a little?

This counting rhyme is ready for transmittal

At any time and, likewise, any rate.

 

What matters is the price, not the amount

Of all the travelled seas and captured bounty.

Your little private counter keeps on counting.

Let it take time - all of its time - to count.

 

What counts the most is that you’re still alive,

No matter if you are a little older.

For you can always count on the beholder

To make you swell – at 10 or 55.
