Fixed Fuzzy Sock is Never the Same

pointed toenail ruined my favorite gray fuzzy sock
puncturing her in a mean, uncaring big-toe way
I try to fix her, but she is never the same
too tight with her sewn up patch to be comfortable
no longer loose, soft, happy and cozy
this is not the first time this has happened
have I learned to trim my toenails first?
ask me after I push my stabbing nails into my new fuzzy sock

My toenails are notoriously pointy and jagged and mean to socks Darlene
