The phrase "When I was one" is commonly associated with a popular children's
nursery rhyme or song. One well-known version begins with the lines: "When I
was one I'd just begun,
The day I went to sea.
I jumped aboard the pirate ship
And the captain said to me –..." This rhyme is often accompanied by actions
and continues with verses for ages two, three, four, etc., describing simple
childhood milestones or playful adventures related to growing up and going to
sea with a pirate theme.
Another famous version is a poem by A.A. Milne titled "When I Was One," which
highlights the innocence of early childhood with simple rhyming lines like:
"When I was one,
I just begun.
When I was two,
I was nearly new." and so forth, poetically capturing the stages of early
childhood development.
The phrase can therefore refer to these playful, nostalgic childhood songs or poems celebrating the age of one. If there is a different context or specific detail sought about "when I was one," please clarify. Otherwise, these are notable cultural references associated with that phrase.
