I'm Three

I'm three...said Johnny,
Three years old.
And up went three fingers,
Like he had been told.

I'm big...you see,
Just like Dad.
And when he was my size,
He was a lad.

I'm going to drive tractor,
When I grow big.
And out in the orchard,
I'm going to dig.

Just like my Daddy,
I'm going to be.
And wear my straps,
So you can see.

Johnny...grew up,
And Johnny grew old.
And the age that he was,
He paused...when he told.
