Think Outside the Box - Buzzwords
I’m constantly reminded to think outside the box
So I thought I would apply it, when looking for my socks
It’s a dilemma I face that my socks are often mixed,
I must think outside the box if I’m to get this problem fixed.
Thinking inside the box must be where I’m going wrong,
That was my rationale at least, figuring where my socks belong?
But how exactly does one, think outside the box?
I should ponder this carefully, like a wily old fox.
What exactly is the problem as to why my socks don’t match?
Could it be that when I bought them they were from a different batch?
Could it be that when I wash them, they somehow separate
And trying to match them afterwards, is no good when it’s too late?
But I cannot think outside the box of that I’m now assured
So I’ll have to ask my wife about this problem she’s endured!
‘We need to think outside the box’ is simply all I said,
She replied ‘then throw them in the wash basket, not under the bed!!’
