Knotty

They seek him here
They seek him there
But he can't be found
Anywhere

They seek him high
They seek him low
Someone saw one 
Long ago 

A knotty problem 
A mess to undo 
Will need an expert 
To see it through 

It's hard to find 
This particular skill 
Much in demand 
With costly bill 

Of what issue 
Do I speak? 
What could possibly 
Cause such pique? 

A good masseuse 
Would help us lots 
Gardening's left us 
Tied up in knots
