Now, that brings back some memories....Alexander Beetle is from a book of poems by A. A. Milne (of Winnie The Pooh fame) called now Now We Are Six....
and I still remember it coz I got the book when I was six and 30 years later, when my son was six, I used to read it to him....
Now We Are Six
When I was one, I had just begun
when I was two, I was barely new
when I was three, I was hardly me
when I was four, I was not much more
when I was five, I was just alive
but now I'm six
I'm as clever as clever
and I think I'll stay six
for ever and ever
- A.A. Milne
funny what you remember, isn't it?
