A Sassy Reader's Theatre

Kids love having a reason to yell at each other, and this poem by Shel Silverstein gave us the perfect opportunity to do just that! I know your student would love to do this short play with you!

One Two

By Shel Silverstein

1: One, two, buckle my shoe.

2,3: Buckle your own shoe!

1: Who said that?

3: We did!

2: What are you doing with those silly buckles on your shoes anyway?

1: Three, four, shut the door.

2: You shut it! You opened it!

1: Errrr...five, six, pick up sticks?

3: Why should we pick them up? Do you think we're your slaves?

2 (Making fun of 1): Buckle my shoe!

3 (Making fun of 1): Shut the door!

2 (Making fun of 1): Pick up sticks!

3: Next thing you'll be telling us to lay them straight.

1: Nine, ten, a big fat....oh, never mind!
