Mismatched Socks
Fresh opened plastic,
unstretched elastic.
Crew cut, solid white.
Knee high, gray on white.
Wal-mart bag, home that night.
Days go by, what a sight.
Wash the socks from the box,
dry them now, match them up.
Not too long to realize
something's up.
I search and search,
then give up.
Crew cut solid white,
gray on white, knee high.
My head goes back,
out comes a sigh.
