A Knot

If a knot is what you’ve got, Then it isn’t there for naught; Such a snag occurs a lot And solutions must be sought. Though a glitch may give you pause, It will get your brain in gear To find fixes for the flaws That you wish you disappear. So the trick is to untangle, Work around or start again, But frustration makes you mangle What you’ve finished up ‘til then. Thus, whenever you’re confronted By a knot or glitch or snag, Keep your temper nicely blunted And don’t let your spirits sag. Resolution may be waiting If you’ve patience, grit and pluck, Though, of course, there’s no debating It can’t hurt to have some luck.

Boy Scouts earn badges for learning how to tie different kinds of knots. You have written this poem as well as many of your previous entries. Another good job, Ilene.
