Joe, Age 9

Well, future two-digit self, 

I wonder what kind of presents you're going to get. 

I wonder what kind of cake you're going to have. 

I wonder if you're going to have trick candles. 

And always, always remember to look 

At your blue wardrobe and see Jake. 

And always, always remember: 

"You'll never feel as tall as when you're ten." 

And remember that that's from 

I'm Just No Good at Rhyming.
