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!'
