1x1 went out for a run, came in first, he’s still number 1
2x2 could not do any more, doubled her up, and made her 4
3x3 takes quite a shine, rub him up, and he is a 9
4x4 why look at her preen, put on a crown, she turned 16
5x5 swam down on a dive, stayed right there, ‘til he was 25
6x6 picked up some sticks, counting them out, he had 36
7x7 felt quite fine, went for a walk, at the age of 49
8x8 looked young ever more, had to tell everyone, he was 64
9x9 sure has a lot of fun, no one would guess, that he’s 81

A contest good for the children, and good for the soul. Forgot to exclude 8x8 Scott, sorry. I am not as smart as a child anymore, lol.

Not as smart as a child anymore huh? Hey, when you're on a roll, you're on a roll, don't stop for eight or you'll be late. 
Nicely done and best of luck...Scott
