Sock Returns

Sock Returns The washer absconded with a sock Then went into an agitated cycle Blamed the dryer for the missing thing The dryer accused the weather Said it never saw the red and yellow item Or the hole at the top between the toes The one that gave it a distinctive glow and character When pressed on the point of having so much knowledge About an object never seen The dryer screamed, shut up and closed its lid A lawyer was called in A detective became involved Washer & dryer refused to cooperate It was too late for that The washer washed The dryer dried The world turned in its style just the same When the red and yellow sock turned up Hole and all, in the laundry basket Nothing drastic to report But happy that the sock returned unharmed To join the other waiting there No less the wear to make a proper pair
