They tell me that what I tie is more of a slippery granny knot. I don't know that I really care, since I now wear shoes with Velcro straps. Anyhow, this Google search (click) will lead you to several rhymes. -Joe- |

LEFT over RIGHT and then RIGHT over LEFT A shoelace tie is a basic square-knot
Sincerely,
Do NOT get too cerebral - like "the one on the left is now on the right so it must really still be the right"
I just learned this past Christmas. (Now if you want to learn how to correctly tie a "smoke jumper's boot" that I have known 3/4 my life.) |

From: Joe Offer I know all that, Garg - I just can never tell right from left, and my slippery Granny bow works just fine(except that it points up and down, not sideways). I tried to discipline myself into proper shoelace tying, but it was harder than giving up cigarettes... Am I allowed to use the word "cigarette" in a thread about children's rhymes? |
