It is with great esteem that I
should introduce a friend of mine.
It's likely that you've met this guy;
His popularity's no lie.
I now present the twistie-tie!
Oh twistie-tie, my twistie-tie!
You twist! You tie! You satisfy!
If you were an apple, why,
You'd be the apple of my eye!
One day I lost my twistie-tie.
This loss I had to rectify.
Searched high and low and low and high
Until my twistie-tie and I
Were once again uniti-fied!
Oh twistie-tie, my twistie-tie!
You twist! You tie! You satisfy!
If you were an apple, why,
You'd be the apple of my eye!
If you were to dance, my tie,
You'd be a dancin' twistie-tie!
You'd run; you'd jump; you'd twist; you'd fly!
And then you'd start to wonder why
You weren't a singin' twistie-tie!
Oh twistie-tie, my twistie-tie!
You twist! You tie! You satisfy!
If you were an apple, why,
You'd be the apple of my eye!
If you were to sing, my tie,
You'd be a swingin' singin' tie!
You'd have a fan club in Dubai!
The reason just escapes me why
you are so reticent to try.
Oh twistie-tie, my twistie-tie!
You twist! You tie! You satisfy!
If you were an apple, why,
You'd be the apple of my eye!
Is that my twistie-tie I spy?!
Above the rooftops, in the sky,
A twistie-tie shaped cloud went by.
I'm almost sure I saw it fly
between two hippopotami.
Oh twistie-tie, my twistie-tie!
You twist! You tie! You satisfy!
If you were an apple, why,
You'd be the apple of my eye!
Old Tie and I, we are quite fly.
So much so, methinks, that I
could never find a studlier guy,
with one exception, fyi:
Another rockin' twistie-tie!
Oh twistie-tie, my twistie-tie!
You twist! You tie! You satisfy!
If you were an apple, why,
You'd be the apple of my eye!

I faintly remember a phone conversation last night where the comment was made that "some of us have to go to school early and work." Is this what you meant?
I had a hard time staying focused that day. My choices were to write a poem about a twistie-tie, or gouge my eyes out with a metal poker. I chose to go the less painful route.
So then when did you write the poem about the twistie-tie?
That would be yesterday.
Wait a minute... are you implying that poking my eyes out would have been the less painful option?
I shall never look at another twistie-tie again without the words rockin' and Dubai popping into my head. Thank you.
Actually I have found that my best engagment rings were made of twistie-ties. I think an ode is appropriate for that reason alone and worth any time put into it.
I think that the chip bag clip is now feeling a little neglected right about now.
I am so going to write music to these lyrics. You have inspired me.
I must say that your poem is brilliant and definitely the better option.
