Mike Gentile Poet Rhyme

I Have Never Lost a Sock

I have never lost a sock
                 ’twas the dryer did the deed
From the prison of my drawer
                    It has somehow now been freed!

I have never lost two socks
                 Washers often need a snack
Either that or they eloped
                        Anyhow, they ain’t been back

I have never lost three socks
                On three wash days in a row
Conspiracy, I must profess!
                   The joke’s on me, I’ll never know

After YEARS of not losing a sock!
I am baffled!!!

Bill Baker February 12, 2023 at 7:32 AM Fun poem to read, Mike. I don't think I've ever lost a sock either, my friend. Bill :-) Mike Gentile February 13, 2023 at 4:20 AM They are all in it together Bill!!!, Thank you!!!

Andrea Dietrich February 8, 2023 at 9:10 PM haha very very clever poem, my friend. Mike Gentile February 9, 2023 at 4:56 AM Thank you Andrea, Happy Thursday xxoo

Charles Messina February 8, 2023 at 4:26 PM LOL... isn't it amazing how they just disappear. Hidden under the couch pillows, beneath the bed/dressers or maybe just thrown out accidentally. Mike Gentile February 9, 2023 at 4:56 AM Indeed so true!!! Update, one has been located ( in a sleeve!)

Harry Horsman February 7, 2023 at 10:16 PM Love this mike, great theme, great poetry. Harry Mike Gentile February 8, 2023 at 4:30 AM Thank you Harry!!!

Jennifer Proxenos February 4, 2023 at 1:53 AM Ha, ha, ha. Love this poem, why does one sock disappear and not the pair. Maybe the one had a chance to flirt and flea either as the washing was put into or taken out of the washing machine when the wash was finished. It is unreal and I think millions of people have suffered this inconvenience. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer. Reminds me a little of my cutlery dilemma poem, I actually to this day don't believe i wrote it. Mike Gentile February 4, 2023 at 5:00 AM Thank you Jennifer, I have to check that out!! Happy Saturday xxoo

Michael Tor February 3, 2023 at 4:44 PM Lol Very funny Mike love how you wrote this. You need a video camera in the Laundry room to really find out how they got away lol. Enjoyed reading and it put a smile on my face. Thank you my friend... Mike Gentile February 4, 2023 at 5:00 AM Thank you so much Michael!!!! Happy Saturday!!

Kim Rodrigues February 3, 2023 at 2:56 PM What a fun write…don’t write off the sock…it might be quite attached to your bum. Years ago I had a sailor friend - we pulled a baby bootie from under her hat. You never know where or when that unsuspecting knitwear will show up ;) Mike Gentile February 3, 2023 at 2:59 PM So true, I'm waiting LOL, Happy Friday Kim!

John Lawless February 3, 2023 at 2:15 PM when asked "do you know you have two different sox on?" I just tell them that I have another pair just like it in my sock drawer. Mike Gentile February 3, 2023 at 2:59 PM Good one John, Happy Friday!

Shirley Hawkins February 3, 2023 at 2:14 PM Odd socks galore in cupboards and drawers. Some are mine, and others are yours. Good one, Mike, still smiling. I hope you have a pleasant weekend. Take care, Shirley Mike Gentile February 3, 2023 at 2:59 PM Thank you Shirley xxoo

Gershon Wolf February 3, 2023 at 1:41 PM Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! I am convinced that my washer and dryer eat my socks. I've renamed them 'Munch a Bunch' Mike Gentile February 3, 2023 at 1:54 PM Great name GW!! Have a great weekend!!!

Victor Buhagiar February 3, 2023 at 9:07 AM Lovely poem. Can't imagine losing three socks. Best buy some more. :) Mike Gentile February 3, 2023 at 1:54 PM I'm sure I will have to! Thanks Victor!

Tom Cunningham February 3, 2023 at 8:33 AM Lol enjoyed the humour Mike, I've lost a few over the years but miraculously they always turn up in the end. Enjoy your weekend. Tom Mike Gentile February 3, 2023 at 1:53 PM Thanks Tom, Hope you have a great one as well!!!
