This one actually isn't so bad. It's about lacework:

One, two, buckle my shoe: refers to the lacemaker getting ready in the morning

Three, four, shut the door: the lacemaker closes the door to the shop to begin work for the day

Five, six, pick up sticks: the sticks are wooden pins

Seven, eight, lay them straight: the way the pins are placed on the fabric

Nine, ten, a big fat hen: which is a pillow that holds the lacework

The lamb was actually owned by a young girl named Mary Sawyer, and it did actually follow her to school one day.

The poem (or song) was written by John Roulstone as he was present at the time this happened.
