That there is cloth to surround the toes
cushion the foot when in shoes it goes,
10% of humanity has footwear
yet I get upset when a sock has a tear...

I get caught up on whether to wear a torn sock
look through my supply and examine my stock.
Is there a flawless pair for tomorrow's day at work
or will I walk into office like a badly dressed clerk?

The colour has to match the mood I'm in
unsightly pair of socks might catch unwanted grins
elastic brands last as long as they're made to stretch
if one extends further than another, I've cause to kvetch...

the life span of hose, which may appear good to view
better makes last longer, all weaves are not a few
like the white thin preppy ones I'd wear in the spring
whose heels wore down quickly as cord becomes string...

lol all my socks are black, and I'm so picky I can't stand the ones with thick seams, so I have to get new ones a lot since they start so thin.
a poem about socks... who woulda thunk!

Always, Alyssa

He was a man of sorrows
...I am a girl of tears.
