Learning to tie my shoelaces 

I bent down to hold it right 

Turned it around to tie the knot 

Was expecting a perfect bow 

But when I tired it wasn't perfectly tied 

So I untied it twice, thrice and many more times 

Got help from trainers who knew the art 

The right turns and curves to give 

Imitating those dexterous moves once again

Persistent in getting it right once atleast 

Finally I got the beautiful bow tied as my shoelace 

When I stood back straight up I realized 

I'm old and frail to hurt my back again 

Next I went shopping I bought a shoe without laces 

It's a perfect fit to slip in my lovely feet 

Without hurting my back nor wasting time in trying a perfect bow
