Once I couldn't ride my bike,
Or use a knife and fork,
And when I was a baby,
I couldn't even walk.

Now those things seem so easy,
Like things I always knew,
But BOY! do I have problems
Putting bows in both my shoes!

They say it's very easy;
Once you get the knack.
I've only got ten fingers
You must need more than that!

Mum reads me lots of stories,
Now I can read them too.
Every day I'm learning more,
But not to tie my shoe.

I've tied myself in many knots,
Trying to make that bow.
It can't really be that hard,
I'll have another go.

Now wait ... I think I've done it!
That loop looks good to me.
Hey! Now I've made another one.
I've tied my shoe!!! YIPPEE!!!!
