Beryl Edmonds Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

Sock It To Me Baby

Sock it to me Baby

He strut like a proud peacock in his crocs 
Green they were, worn with lime shocking pink socks
He asked for a date
I said "no way mate"
"Only because I have no matching frocks."

He said he just didn't care what frock I wore
'Cause he'd got crocs of many colours in store
"A lady in red “
I answered in jest
Suspecting that he was aiming to score.

Both of us went on the date dressed in red 
 "You must be clothed for a bet" someone said
My dates crocs and socks
Gave out vibrant shocks 
'Cause all he wore matched, down to boxers and vest.

I answered "yes and it's for charity"
And we raised loads to put in the kitty
My date turned out great
We're now best of mates
His socks and crocs are my flitty ditty.
“Sock it to me baby, come hold me tight
Your crocs so excite me, love me tonight.”

Kai Michael Neumann June 11, 2021 at 2:39 AM That is a wonderful poem. I do not own any crocs, but I am known to wear socks with sandals. Which gives away my German heritage, so I am told.
