Kimberly Palhegyi Poet Personification

The Missing Sock

Laundry's a tedious task
that is just what I think
Curious, and I must ask 'cause this has me on the brink
Why is one sock always stubborn?
Why does it leave it's partner behind?
When matching 'em up I am so forlorn
are they just trying to be unkind?
Maybe they think it is hilarious
to play this prank on me
I do not think it is funny
Together these socks must be!!
Eventually they all get together
Maybe they party when I'm not home
Do they plan which sock will sneak away next?
Do they have a plan where it will roam?
It sure makes laundry exciting as I play this guessing game
Maybe these woolen beauties
don't want my interest in laundry to wane.

Daver Austin February 16, 2011 at 2:03 PM Yes! I am forever comeing up with just one sock. There might be several pair I've washed, but there is always this one sock. I like this poem mucho. Congrats on the selection. daver

Vince Suzadail Jr. February 14, 2011 at 5:26 PM Congrats Kimberly on "The Missing Sock" being featured. I thought this was a woman's way of driving her man up a wall. My wife can put 4 pairs of socks in the wash and when they come out of the dryer, there are 3 pair and two that don't match. Vince

Audrey Haick July 7, 2010 at 7:42 AM A delight to read this a.m., Kimberly. I tell you, they're sneaky, alright. When you're looking for them, they're impossible to find. However, when you're not, there they are! Audrey

Virginia Mitchell July 6, 2010 at 5:13 PM Ha! I think it's a conspiriancy! They're making plans to take over the world; )
