Lost Sock Trail

T’was perhaps by dint of fate Or some demonic spell That I, a sock, was granted The gift of sniff-less smell I gaged and retched in darkness Of a foot’s pungent aroma Finally, I fled the scene Became a match-less roamer I hang about old laundramats With socks lost and unfound They share a single loneliness A fading hope of being found Not me, I shout, I shan’t return It’s the wanderer’s life I seek For I miss not the brogans And those feet that truly reek Yet, you may see me resting In the warmth of sunset’s fail Singing songs of corns and bunions As I walk that lost sock trail

This was a terrific sock poem. Good luck with the contest, or any contests for that matter.

We really don't give socks the credit they're due for being stomped on, shoved into dirty sneakers and boots, getting smeared with oozing blisters and boney bunions stretching and smothering them with the stench of our smelly feet! I'd mutiny, too if I was one.
