Lost Sock

 There once was a sock
 That was left at the laundromat
 His owner forgot to take it back
 and for a while in the dryer he sat

 Then someone else came and he tumbled again
 Then he was put in a bag and taken away
 he was soon taken out by a lady named Jane
 But matched none of her socks, with none he could play

 He was used to dust things by this lady named Jane
 When he got dirty he was thrown in a pile
 Then off to the laundromat he was taken again
 Where in the machine he spun for a while

 Then into the dryer he was thrown
 Spinning away without a care
 When the dryer stopped he felt static, unknown
It was a surprise when Jane left him right there

 Then his owner came in and used the same dryer!
 It seemed once more he would have to roam
 He was taken out when temps got higher
 Then put in a bag and taken back home

A fun and brilliant take on sock, how clever is it and i love the opening lines the most, how youv started giving a very storytelling vibe. I always wonder where do socks go hiding! Pleasure reading this, best wishes for the contest

Such a fun sock tale! And it would be a happy ending, until the sock went on a smelly foot. Good luck in the contest.

It endured so much--that poor sock. Glad in the end it found home.
