Sock It To Me
The store had lots of funky socks -
Nobody could have missed 'em.
The ones I chose had elephants -
Now, how could I resist 'em?
Another pair had cherries
And (the special called for 3),
I finished with an argyle
Made in colors just for me.
The men's collection rivaled
What the women's had, I'd bet,
The choices overwhelming;
You'd think all would buy them, yet...
Most people stick with solids -
Boring black or white or gray.
If only they would realize
How cool socks can make your day!
So next time you are shopping,
Give yourself a little treat
And see how you'll be uplifted
With some funk upon your feet.
