Socks

I'm constantly replacing socks.
I can never find a mate.
It's amazing how quickly they disappear.
One minute you have a pair,
and  the next  minute one has walked off
Knowing they made it to the washer.
Wondering if the dyer ate them?
We'll never know what happened to the socks
For they never come back.

I wear what's left whatever the colour. Loved the poem, haven't we all had them eaten up.

Socks, socks, what can you do? One minute they're a pair, the next, they're no longer two. I guess I should be grateful, I don't really know this plight. Holes in the toes and worn out heels seems to be my endless fight.

Those dadgum dryers eat socks like crazy, Cory. I wrote a similar poem a while back and had the socks falling down the rabbit hole with Alice in Wonderland. I am so careful when I do laundry, but still socks disappear! Enjoyed your witty poem. Love, Carolyn
