Air Conditioned Socks

Well all of my socks have found a hole
My wife says it's there so my toe can grow
Now I don't know if this is true
But if it is, I need a hole in my shoe

When I walk around, it looks like a snail
Poking his head out of his itty bitty shell
I want you to know even tho it's rude
That my toe feels naked, you know, nude

I thought about drawing two eyes and a nose
Cause I follow it around where ever it goes
Maybe telling people it's a new kinda pet
And we're going for a walk, it's not housebroke yet

Well I tried to buy more but they're not in stock
Cause there's no such thing as an air conditioned sock
So I bought me some scissors and the good Lord willing
I'm gonna make my own brand and make me a killing

Well the moral of this story just so you know
Is I just found out that my wife can't sew
She told me a lie that simply wasn't true
And now I'm stuck with a hole in my shoe

Send me your tired, your worn, your holy socks, Larry, and I' get my sewing machine out. (Can't darn, though) This is so clever, my friend. Gave me a hearty laugh! Love, Carolyn
