My Method For Tying Shoes - a poem

My Method For Tying Shoes
by
Greg Pincus

Keep your "Bunny Ears" and "loop-de-loops" -
I'll tie shoes with the method I've got.
Oh, sure, it's a mess
Yet there's often success...
So I call it the "Probably Knot."

It's Poetry Friday, and the roundup is at the fantabulous Teaching Authors site. Go on over and check it out!

  2. I've been working in a primary classroom lately. This reminded me of their shoes, as 'probably' tied.
