like new-new shoes

for six agonizing months
my new shoes often came untied
no matter how i tied them
finally took laces from old shoes i wear

changed longer new laces for the old with care
all fit in their new shoe lace places
my new shows are now staying tied
the faithful old shoes, however, i haven’t tried

All shoelace places are the same.

So smart!

i don't get it.
how could all shoe lace places be the same?

if you mean holes for the laces,
there are ten on the old pair
and twelve on the new.

is this girl talk?
as in: like a place to buy shoes?

my wife isn't here right now
so she can't help me.

she would know the answer
and surely point out my error.

Hahaha....shoelace places aren't identical, but they perform the same function.

i.e. All shoelace places are holes.

(It's like a crazy logic problem...)
