THE MISSING SOCK

Can anyone out there help me ?

I’m alone and I could cry

My Twin he has gone missing

And ‘They’ve hung me out to dry ! ‘



I used to go ‘On-line’ a lot

With a friend that I called ‘Peg ‘

The pups they used to play with me

Whilst sitting up to beg



The Hamster used to hunt me

When I felt ‘Down at heel’

He’d hide me in the corner

Ready for to steal



But now my Brother’s missing

A common hazard that

We were called ‘ A right pair ‘

Whilst chewed on by the cat



My Brothers name was ‘Lefty’

The one that had the hole

I really miss my ‘ Sole-mate ‘

Please find him, make me whole



I searched upon ‘ The Internet ‘

“Lostsock.com” was the first

I met socks with a ‘Fetish’

Which only made things worse



‘Socks-reunited, Socks-rescue’

I really tried them all

But I couldn’t find my Brother

I even looked out in the hall



So now I’m getting desperate

Running fast out of idea’s

Please help me find my Brother

I’m going to ‘Box his ears’



If he returns I promise

I’ll try to ‘ Toe-the-line ‘

I’ll cancel his replacement

Knitted from old twine



I think he may be Partying

To Nightclubs he would scoot

He’s always been a loner

And he’s got ‘ Club Foot ‘



A last resort was called for

999 I dialled

I asked them to send ‘ S.O.C.O ‘

The Sergeant got all riled





“ Don’t waste my time with nonsense,

I’ve better things to do.

I can’t be looking for a sock,

I’m looking for a shoe ! “



Smelly feet I don’t miss

The smell of ‘ Cheesy butter ‘

Trapped in by the stitched up holes

“ Darned Sock ! “ I hear you mutter



I feel all weak and weary

My heels all worn and brown

And now that my elastic’s gone

I keep on ‘ Falling down ‘



I lay alone inside the drawer

Feeling like a ‘ Muppet ‘

Until ‘ The Toddler ‘ found me

Now I’m a ‘ Child’s Hand Puppet ‘



Faces painted on me

A playroom my location

Now rescued from the sock drawer

I’ve found my life’s Vocation !
