Jig Antic

Goliath stood up straight and tall
But David knew that he would fall
Goliath was stoned
And everyone groaned
His shoelace tripped him after all!

I thought about naming it, "Sundae School" as it reminds children of the importance of tying their shoes, but then wondered what child today laces their shoes? Aloha!
