Sock Monster

In the land of laundry, I search high and low, for missing socks - wondering where do they go? Each morning, I search for a matching pair, but they seem to have disappeared into thin air. They were together in my washing machine, I set the right temperature for them to clean. I saw how they frolicked in soapy delight, then placed them in the dryer to warm their wet plight. Perhaps they eloped on a wild escapade, or is there a sock monster renegade? Stealing mismatched socks to make you vexed, such a dilemma leaves the mind perplexed. Does the sock monster consume them for dinner? Or are they traded as a money spinner? Or maybe they're hiding in some secret lair, giggling at me with a mischievous glare. Maybe to them it's just a humorous game, but wearing odd socks can cause bullying shame. The main issue though, that always irritates, is new socks mean my bank balance deflates. I've looked everywhere, beneath every chair, but those sneaky socks don't care my feet are bare. They vanish like ghosts in the hush of the night, leaving me confused from this sockless spite. So here I sit with a solitary sock, feeling defeated, dazed from the after shock. Thinking it's a relief, that I don't wear frocks and I should protect my drawers with padlocks!!!
