Isn't that it, though? The whole little rhyme has BL references: One, two buckle my shoe (get ready for school - lace school) Three four out the door (going there) Five six pick up sticks (the bobbins) Seven eight lay them straight (tension?!) Nine ten, a big fat hen (pin) Eleven twelve dig and delve (hm, don't know the collection) Thirteen fourteen maids a courting (more with bobbin pairs...) Fifteen sixteen (I forget) Seventeen eighteen maids a-waiting .... Nineteen twenty that's a-plenty .... (end of repeat?)
something like that anyway! -- bye for now Bev in Sooke, BC (on Vancouver Island, west coast of Canada) On Sun, 29 Jul 2007, Shirley Meier wrote: > Does anyone know a poem about bobbins that is a variation on > One, Two buckle my shoe > Three, Four knock at the door, etc ????? > > Apparently there is one but I can't find it anywhere. > Shirley in Corio Oz. > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: > unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
