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 her bike
Around the block a lot
And being Five is big enough
And being Four is not.
And then she likes to settle down
And suck her 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.
