Just read Poet Devine's cute poem, The Third Sock. Our minds must have been on the same wave length! I just wrote this one. My mother's sorting socks today and pretty soon, I hear her say: "My son, you are a lucky boy, you have nice clothes and every toy a kid could ever want and yet, you simply won't or just forget to put your socks out two by two. What on earth am I to do? Then she held up angrily three lone socks for me to see. "Are they underneath your bed?" "I don't think so, " then I said. "I just cleaned my room, you know, but I tell you what, I'll go and hunt all over till I find socks of like or similar kind." And then I did just that, but there were no stray socks hid anywhere. I went and looked at the machine that's supposed to get them clean and it had the smuggest look. In my heart, I know it took all my socks and with a smile, knowing in a little while, I'm the one who'd get the blame, It still ate them just the same! If Meadowmuse reads this, please tell me what you think! Betty Lou Hebert |

This is really funny. And oh so true. I sometimes wonder where in the world my laundry disappears to. Best Wishes Rosemary "Yet each man kills the things he loves...some do it with a bitter look, some with a flattering word" Oscar Wilde |

Poet deVine: Sorry! From now on I'll check your poems for subject matter before I post my own. It was probably just a crossed wire somewhere!! Betty Lou Hebert |
