1Little Girl
Once upon a time, there was
a girl who wanted to grow
into a pretty lady
but time seemed to pass too slow.
There were so much other things
she wanted to do, not wait
but wait she had to, because
her growth spurt was very late.
She wanted to mingle, but
she's not allowed to the ball.
Instead, she's lessons at home.
Still too young to court, too small.
