You’ve got to learn it
And tie it swell,
You can’t go around
Like a ne’er-do-well.
You’ll need to watch me
And know each step,
You can do it right
I’ll show you how it’s kept.
You’ll know it’s perfect
And know it’s right,
You’ve got it down
For the rest of your life.
I can’t remember it
I need a hand,
I know how it looks
Please do it over again.

My father taught me how to tie a Windsor knot when I was a child and, like riding a bike, this is something I will never forget. Many decades later, when my dad was experiencing cognitive decline and struggling with his tie, I was able to return that gift of knowledge back to him and I was both sad and proud to do it.
