Socks!

Socks!

A Poem by andrew mitchell

If a sock is a sock
Why do socks need pairs?
One always gets lost!
Buy two get one free!

Who cares if they're odd
No foot is the same
Just left versus right
Or right versus left.

Petty is the correctiveness
Placed on socks
When in draws, lies
Plenty of singles, lost.

Waiting to be paired
Black with grey
grey with navy
Navy with brown
Who cares!

Sock 'em!!

Another of your little morsels of humour over the mundane aspects of life Andrew. Made me smile. Great idea to sell socks in packs of three. It may just catch on.

One typo; they're odd me thinks dear chap?

I have socks in my drawer that have their missing partners on posters plastered all over the place... they are never coming home :)

ps, you haven't seen a black striped, ankle length, size 13 Fila have you?

What a Smarty pants! SOL!
Perhaps we should have a universal sock standard set up! But they must not stink!

Apparently it's the underwear gnomes that steal the socks.

Why I'm still up at 2:45, I'm trying to catch one in the act!
I have a history of mixing my blacks and navies. maybe we need a "spare sock" drawer.
