Explore "Birthday Talk for a Child. (Iris.)" by Edith Nesbit on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
DADDY dear, I'm only four / And I'd rather not be more: / Four's the nicest age to be -- / Two and two, or one and three.
All I love is two and two, / Mother, Fabian, Paul and you; / All you love is one and three, / Mother, Fabian, Paul and me.
Give your little girl a kiss / Because she learned and told you this.
