Five plus one equals…

Keith's Ramblings

…a Six Sentence Story where the given word is Knot – although actually, it is!

 ‘When is a knot not a knot?’ she asked me.

I had not a notion, but not wishing to appear a nitwit I took a guess and said ‘when it’s knitting.’ 

‘No you nutcase’, she said, ‘knitting is lots and lots of knots knitted together’.

That was not something I could disagree with, so not knowing what else to suggest I gave in and asked her to tell me when a knot is not a not.

‘I don’t know’, she said, ‘that’s why I asked you!’

I changed the subject by telling her that the guy who invented velcro thought … ‘why not?’

    Maybe I can answer that question. A knot is not a knot when it’s a group of things not knotted together. When I saw the prompt, I thought of “a knot of spectators.” In proximity, but not tied together in any way. I’m still ironing out my six sentences, though. 🙂

    A knot is not a knot when someone finds a way to untangle it, but it can open a can of worms nobody wants to see hence they glorify beauty of the knot.

    Fun as usual.
