Bow-Ties Poem by Douglas Scotney
Bow-Ties
The rise of the pre-tied bow-tie,
le noeud papillon pret a porter,
has made the art of tying bow-ties
well-nigh as extinct as dodos.
To pull off a good tie in a bow-tie,
even a KING's dresser
can need two or more goes.

I have only worn a couple of bow-ties in my whole life. They were pre-tied. This takes me back to a well-dressed past and social life.
