Sock Talk: Poetry Monday

 

Poetry Monday's once a week.

I bet you know which day.

I don't participate every time,

But today I've come out to play.

My friends assign each week a theme,

Socks is what they chose.

Now it's up to all of us,

to put our thoughts into prose.

 

 

Sock Talk

I've written about socks before, 

in fact, a time or two.

Today I'll tell you 'bout them,

(and I'll end with something new).

Once I wrote a poem 'bout

their disappearing act.

It's always in the laundry and,

oh, how I tried to fight back.

What would drive me crazy?

I'm as organized as can be.

PurDude? He'd grab just any two,

as you can clearly see.

Don't leave out my other son,

he's more than happy to wear,

footwear that's more hole than sock,

(much to his mom's despair).

In The Love Theory I even wrote,

shocking though it may seem,

about sock, ran away with fork,

"love is love" (not food) was the theme.

Me? I'm at my happiest,

when going sockless, though.

"Unless," PurDude says, "it's because,

you've broken where they go."

 

 

 

 

Wait!

Read more poetry, 

you're not through.
