Buckle My Shoe

One, two, buckle my shoe, a lesson to be learned; Three, four, and so many more - times the world has turned. Cross the laces, make some loops, feed the laces through; Tighten them up and adjust - now you’ve tied your shoe. A temper and impatience don’t suit a child so rare; When blessed with a gift, treat him with respect and care. One, two, buckle my shoe; a lesson to be learned; Three, four, out the door, many times the world has turned.
