Sock it to me!

While the time was

only hands away,

tick, tock, tick; 

a foot without a sock

was a a foot loose.

An eye for an eye

knocked each other out,

and a head without a mind

leaves a skull empty.

But what of the thought 

that's lost, distracted,

breaking from the herd?

It can only be

a thought looking

for the other sock.

I used to think my dryer ate my socks. I always seemed to have one or two without a match! You wrapped this little ditty up quite perfectly with a very clever closing, Andrew. You do these little conundrums so well!

How are things in Australia?

Warmer than you guys, our city of Adelaide reached 47.7C last month, it was too hot! Thanks Kelly for the review as they say a review to a writer is a meal and drink. Thanks for the meal.

I shall remember that. I've never heard it before!
