It Socks To Be Me

I am a solo sock mismatched again, 
Insouciantly sorted out by men. 

I’m worn and torn, my shelf life so unfair - 
Old sole cast off without my perfect pair. 

My oxygen runs low in dampened heat, 
As all day long I’m wrapped  ‘round whiffy feet. 

A random rip and I am in a flash, 
Without a second glance, tossed in the trash. 

Sickly and old in times of dark despair, 
Not worthy of restorative repair.  

My significant other stands no chance - 
Sad story of a sock with lost romance. 

The only solace in my dim, damp fate 
Is my intrinsically matching mate. 

My poignant plea to you, all mighty men - 
Please never ever sever socks again!

Ah ... the legacy of the unmatched sock. Could they speak, I have no doubt they would, indeed have spoken the words you've written here. A marvelous, enjoyable read ... thank you for sharing, Margarita. Jack
