Vivien Wade Poet Rhyme

Socks

SOCKS
I have a pair of blue socks,
I have a pair of brown, 
Always wear brown socks,
Whenever I go to town.

One day I had a nasty shock,
It was such an awful bother,
A brown sock was on one foot,
And a blue one on the other.

As I am getting older,
It's really quite a pest,
Taking so much longer,
To look my very best.

Old age has come upon me,
I can no longer bend down,
So I shuffle along in slippers,
Whenever I go to town.
