Ode
To
The
Aglet
(
The
end
of
shoelaces)
Shamed
forgotten
fasteners.
Begotten
from
the
past
,
now
adheres
The
end
of
shoelaces.
But
the
lineage
traces
back
so
far
...
To
the
time
of
Shakespeare
himself
.
When
aglets
were
held
in
esteem
on
a
shelf
.
On
the
end
of
lavish ribbons.
To
tie
the
end
of
clothes
given
Only
to
nobles...
On
the
end
of
shoelaces
they
lie
on
the
ground
On
silk
they
were
once
found
!
They've
sunk
so
low
No
one
would
know
In
the
days
of
old
They
were
fashioned
in
silver
and
gold
Once
leading
satin
,
The
name
comes
from
the
Latin
Acus
meaning
needle
.
Now
they
are
feeble
Plastic
on
the
end
of
a
string
It's
a
very
sad
thing
Their
fate
such
a
travesty
Fallen
from
majesty
Are
these
shamed
forgotten
fasteners
Begotten
from
the
past
,
now
adheres
The
end
of
shoe
laces.

Once
aglets adorned
the
winner
.
Now
they
help
secure
the
laces,
of
someone
who
owes
me
dinner
.
