Counting Buttons

Counting Buttons Nanny was an old lady always rocking in her chair On her front porch you would find her there My daughter at her young age loved to sit on Nannys lap Counting one, two, three buttons and then they would clap Day in and day out counting buttons was their thing Much joy and laughter this simple task would bring I truely believe this is how my daughter learned to count On the lap of an old lady in memory of Nanny we recount
