The Argyle Sock

Off the bridge it goes into cold water Carried down the angry river which raged away One argyle sock looks like the other Separated from the mate by accident Despair turned into a missing pair No more washer dryer cycles of life Agitation tumbles forth Takes a turn for the worst Spills into ocean waves to foreign lands Where a large bass or whale would swallow it A fate that made no matter to the sock It ended up in China in a fishing net Where every part of a fish is eaten Anything that moves is food A mother put the sock before her son In a soup it looks delicious When the boy took a bite he cried This tastes disgusting! It is too tough! He tried some salt and pepper as dad suggested Mom screamed, put a sock in it and eat it! People are starving in countries other than our own
