The little elf

Grown up at the age of 12 ...

 

The little elf

 

At the age of twelve

A little elf

 

Knowing that all three r’s

Reading

Writing

Arithmetic

 

Are those 

 What make this world tick

 

Deciding that all three r’s

Reading

Writing

Arithmetic

 

Give her the kick

To start an adult life

 

Being twelve

The little elf

No longer is five

But able to reach the top of her dad’s shop shelve

……..

 

 

Author's Note

At the age of twelve, I quite liked to help out in my dad's repair shop... At that age, all you seemed to know to succeed in life were, in my mind, the 3 r's... Knowing those, I wanted to homeschool myself...
Luckily my parents did not employ me, but sent me off to highschool and college!

This is just sweet. A beautiful poem

I like this. I know what it felt like when I was younger and thought I knew every thing and didn't want to keep going to school. Great poem!
