Where's My Sock?

I have an important question
That men have asked for years
Where does my sock go to
Whenever it disappears

Does the dryer really eat it
Or is this just a myth
We need some kind of radar
To track that sucker with

Some have said it's sock fairies
That carries one sock away
Others say a conspiracy
So it's more we'll have to pay

I've even had a search party
Me, my wife, and kid
We turned that house upside down
But still, that sucker hid

I also had a milk carton
With it's picture on the side
But everytime I looked at it
I just broke down and cried

Well, I guess I know the answer
And I know what I have to do
Since I only have one sock,
I'll only wear one shoe

Too dang funny! There's a pile of socks somewhere so big Sir Edmond couldn't climb it! Seriously! And, it's made of mine and yours!

Congrats on the win. Very funny. A Comedian once said that where the socks go is called the "Hozone"

Sometimes these "lost" socks suddenly reappear. Keep both shoes in case they do! Enjoyed, Larry! Congrats on your win! Love, Carolyn
