The Lonely Socks' Social Club
Today in the Infants' lost property box,
I found gloves and scarves and a bunch of odd socks.
I'm very confused by this state of affairs;
who goes home in one sock? We wear them in pairs!
If you lost a sock, would you leave off your shoe
and hop everywhere? Or would you put on two?
When I was a child, I could not comprehend
how a sock in the wash could just lose its best friend!
Then adulthood struck, and along came this quandary:
that socks disappear when you're doing the laundry!
I found a large box which I thought could be shared
by all of the odd socks until they were paired.
Although we have had a degree of success
with pairs reunited, it's failed to impress:
some poor socks have been in that box now for years!
Such a sad situation. Imagine their tears!
So now I've come up with another solution;
I really hope this one will bring resolution.
I've set up a club where the socks that are single
can meet lots of others, have drinks, chat and mingle.
Then maybe those socks can go out on a date.
This social club's name? It's called 'FIND YOUR SOLE MATE!'
