I Was Born Testo

I was born at half past 12, almost one in the morning; I was born at half past one, almost two in the morning. Now my birthday comes again and I don't know how old I am; Half past one or two or three, almost 4 in the morning. I was born at half past four, almost 5 in the morning; I was born at half past six, almost 7 in the morning; How old am I, you ask of me? one year younger than I used to be; Half past 7, half past 8, half past nine in the morning. I was born at half past nine, almost ten in the morning; I was born at 1/2 past ten, almost 'leven in the morning; Today my age is tweedle and 'twee, I'm prettier than I used to be; Half past 'leven, half past 'leven, almost 12 in the morning.
