Tootsies
I think the dryer ate my socks.
I cannot find a pair.
Whatever will my tootsies wear?
No sign of socks
on my floor,
in my drawer,
or behind my door!
It seems so weird they just disappeared!
I thought I spied one under the bed,
it was just my Calico cat instead.
I asked the dryer their whereabouts.
Did he know?
I had my doubts.
Were they stuck with static to a dress?
This tumbling machine would not confess.
I begged my crocs,
“Have you seen my socks?”
“We plead the fifth,” they replied.
"Had my dryer lied?
I pleaded with the hamper to tell me the truth.
Where oh where is the old sock sleuth?
Droopy
sporty,
smelly and
black.
TELL THE DRYER I WANT THEM BACK!
