Paula Goldsmith Poet Personification

The Odd Sock

Grandma knitted me and my brother,
he is blue and I am pink.
We fit snug in Sally's shoes, 
off to school or to play we go.
Each week we get a warm bath,
then go round and round in the dryer.
Life was so much fun,
until my blue brother took off.
I sit all alone in Sally's dresser drawer,
now the odd sock out.
