Odd Man Out

The pair should be headed for fame
Behind, in the draw’r, out of aim.
     He was the one left,
     Not right; he’s bereft.
The sock was not chosen for game.

The sock was not chosen, and why?
Embarrassing gaff, he could die.
     Uncool was his sole.
     Unsewn, had a hole.
His match did not stop to say bye.

The right, he returned, with his win.
New left was alright with his skin.
     Ignored was old sock.
     Tossed out like a rock.
He’s bitter and holey as sin.
