The sort of concise, rhymed form reminds me of nursery rhymes which makes the whole piece more child-like and really fits the theme. I don't know. Developing, maturing all life and then bam, you are 8 years old? Seems like taking the effort you've accumulated through years and flushing it down the toilet. Adulthood is fine so long as you take away heart attack hazards.
ah, louis, you demonstrate my point; but then, look how young you are. i kinda think i might have been happiest when i was about ten, to tell you the truth. well, you can't be persuaded of this now and rightly so, so we'll just let this stand.
