Ties that bind us together!

Oh this did strike a chord, or cord.
Once upon a time, long, long ago my life used to depend on this.
How to tie a bowline!

The bunny goes out the hole and round the tree and down the hole again.
Finish with a half hitch. Jesus, to think we used to hang on these things.
A waistband of hemp and all the good things of life!

And now a big boy who did these things so much better.
Gaston!
