Mismatched Socks

I have three pairs of patterned socks, With colors and designs That vary in each duo Set on horizontal lines. From triangles to hearts and dots To checkerboards, as well As numbers and some words, But what they say I cannot tell. Today I noticed, far too late, My socks are not the same. Of course, right from the dryer, Matching pairs had been my aim. Yet somehow I messed up And now my outfit is complete With mismatched socks, although they still Feel cozy on my feet.

I actually bought a pair of odd socks once. They had writing on them, but when I opened them, one said ‘Left’ but the other said ‘Right’… typical! Enjoyed this very relatable tale, Ilene, particularly as I spent all day yesterday in an inside out T shirt. Terry
