Nostalgia

Annabelle Lee is getting old

It weren't more than six years ago

I was in third grade and moving out here

And now things have gotten all weird

My sister's about to graduate eighth grade

And my oldest little bro went to his first dance today

The littlest two will play sports next year

Can't help but wonder how we got here

Where'd the time go? What do I do?

With the brains in my head and the feet in my shoes?

Author's Note

last line's an allusion to the Dr. Seuss Quote

Ha, you ain't seen nothing yet, the older you get, the faster time flies, love the last line...always a pleasure to read you Annabelle.

[Annabelle Lee]

Pleasure writing for ya, grrrrllll!

[Baby Ricochet]

Just wait till you turn 30. You'll really wonder where the time went then.

[Annabelle Lee]

Oh no!

[Trigorin]

Not bad. Nice allusion to the Poe poem, but I don't think the last line quite fits with the rest. Other than that, good work.

Wasn't much of an allusion, that's my name
