Mismatch Jed

Have you ever met the troll 
That lives beneath your bed?
He really is a silly chap,
His name is Mismatch Jed.

His favorite thing to do at night 
Is steal one of your socks.
Then sneak back to his hidey-hole
And stash it in a box.

So when you just can’t find the match
to the sock you want to wear,
You’ll know that Mismatch Jed’s been by 
…just choose a different pair.
