Sock Monster

The sock monster climbs up the waste pipe And into your washing machine He’ll hide up in a corner To ensure he can’t be seen. Then when you put you clothes in And you’ve set the washers clock He’ll dive into your washing And select a single sock. This special prize, he’ll carry off To his secret monster lair And share this tasty morsel With his monster wife so fair. © John W Fenn 03-12-2008

Love this one. He's a close relative to the swamp monster who eats shoes and sock. Sara
