The Other Red Sock

Hop - two, three, four. Socks - two, three, four. Wait a minute! Where Is Red One's partner? Not over here. Not over there. Not behind the pillow Or under the chair! Red Two must be playing Hide and Seek with them and us. When he disappeared last time The boy's mother made a fuss! She told her son off because He didn't roll them into pairs. No. He just chucked them Down the stairs. Red Two is no ordinary sock. He likes to travel alone... Who knows what he gets up to Around the home? One day, he was hiding Under the dog's chin. Another time he was found In the bread bin! He's sometimes very naughty. What do you think? The other day he turned Some white shirts pink! Things sure do get crazy When he is not on scene. Ah! Maybe he's been eaten By the washing machine!

Very interesting topic. It's a big question how one sock from a pair can easily vanish !
