Let K be a PL knot with tunnel number one. The author in a clear and concise manner demonstrates that K satisfies the Poenaru conjecture. Also, the author shows that K cannot be written as the join of two prime tangles (i.e., K is doubly prime). In addition, the arguments provide a geometric proof of Norwood's theorem that tunnel number one knots are prime [see \textit{F. H. Norwood}, Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 86, 143-147 (1982; Zbl 0506.57004)].
