The Troubles of a Long Tie
The Troubles of a Long Tie is a popular song written by John Lennon and first released on the Beatles' 1965 album Help! The song, which features a prominent guitar riff, is considered a classic of the Beatles' early catalog. The lyrics of the song are humorous and deal with the singer's struggles with a long tie, which symbolizes his conservatism and need to be free from social norms. The song also touches on themes of youth, fun, and rebellion against authority figures. Its popularity has endured over the years, and it continues to be covered and performed by many musicians.
Once upon a time, in a small village, there was a young man named Jack. He was a simple farmer, yet he loved to dress up and look his best. One day, he decided to wear a tie to church, just like the big city men he had seen in pictures. He tied the tie around his neck, but it was so long that it kept falling off.
Jack tied the tie again and again, but each time it ended up in the same predicament. He thought to himself, “This tie is too long for me. I should find someone to help me shorten it.” So, he took the tie to his neighbor, a skilled seamstress named Lily.
Lily looked at the tie and said, “This tie is indeed too long for you, Jack. But don’t worry, I can help you shorten it.” She took out her scissors and began to cut the tie, but suddenly she stopped and said, “Wait, Jack. I think I may have made a mistake. The tie is so short now that it won’t even fit around your neck.”
Jack looked at the tie in horror. It was now so short that it was unusable. He said, “Lily, you’ve ruined my tie! What am I supposed to do now?” Lily apologized and said, “I’m so sorry, Jack. I thought I was helping you, but I ended up making things worse.”
Jack decided to take the matter into his own hands. He found some extra material from an old shirt and used it to extend the tie. He tied it around his neck and it fit perfectly! He was so proud of himself that he decided to wear the tie to church that Sunday.
The service was about to start when Jack walked into the church with his new tie. He felt so handsome in it that he even gave himself a pat on the back. But then, just as he sat down, he felt something strange around his neck. He looked at the tie and it had become untied! He quickly tied it again and sat back down, but he could feel the tie slipping off his neck.
Jack realized that the extra material he had added to the tie was too loose and it was causing the tie to fall off. He felt embarrassed and wished he had just left the tie alone. As the service continued, Jack kept fidgeting with his tie, trying to keep it tied around his neck.
Finally, the service ended and Jack rushed out of the church. He decided that he would never wear a tie again. He took the long tie off his neck and folded it up, intending to put it away forever. But just as he was about to put it in the drawer, he noticed something special about the tie. It was a beautiful, old-fashioned style that he had never seen before.
Jack suddenly realized that the long tie he had been so annoyed with was actually a unique and interesting piece of clothing. He decided that he would keep the tie after all, but he would wear it with pride instead of embarrassment. From that day on, Jack wore the long tie with confidence and it became one of his favorite pieces of clothing.
The lesson Jack learned that day was that we should accept our flaws and imperfections with pride instead of embarrassment. We are all unique and special in our own way, just like that long tie that Jack now loved to wear.
