Laundry

Laundry

Ice cream's sweet, and love is gentle,
Life in general rocks...
But there's a mystery hanging o'er us...
What happens to our socks?..

Day by day I do the laundry, 
Shirts and pants are on the square.
Blankets,sheets are always present
So is the underwear..

Yet from each pair a sock is missing...
Stolen by some Grinch or elf? 
Or do they creep away in silence
Each one leaving by himself?

Socks cling to defeat?

One of life's greatest mysteries! We need a cure for this ubiquitous malady! Enjoyed the rhyme and lilt of this fun piece :)
