I Feel Poem

By Cole Harnish

I feel three when I play with Quinn because he is three,

I feel seven when I play hide-and-go-seek because I played it a lot when I was seven and no one could find me,

I feel thirteen when I hang out with friends and email them,

I feel sixteen when I snowboard because I am advanced for my age,

I feel twenty when I shop for food because when you move into your own house you have to buy food for yourself,

And I feel thirty-six when I think of ways to start a company because when you get older you have to make a living,

I feel eighty when my whole entire body is sore and I can barely walk.
