The Odd Sock

Grandma knitted me and my brother, he is blue and I am pink. We fit snug in Sally's shoes, off to school or to play we go. Each week we get a warm bath, then go round and round in the dryer. Life was so much fun, until my blue brother took off. I sit all alone in Sally's dresser drawer, now the odd sock out.

What is more sad then sitting "alone in a dresser drawer?" Could Grandma knit a new one? Pleeese... I wrote a poem about socks. They are funny to write about. This was a darling poem, cute as a button or a little pink sock.
