Socks

What is this, but what could it be?

Besides a three-tailed-thing-a-ma-he.

No, no, no, no, I’ve got it all wrong

It’s a two-tailed-toe-licking-song

But that, oh no, could never be

no toe-licking-songs or thing-a-ma-he’s

But this my friend is the most special of all

this right here a sock great appall.

Do not argue with me I say

for this will make a great wonderful say

a sock finds many jobs to do

one for her, or him, or you.

Now you may ask what can it do?

This sock is special, but no more than you.

If you put this sock where it is thought to belong

It holds the warmth...but not for long.

What if this sock did come to freeze

Then your foot may begin to sneeze

but if we put the sock somewhere else

It may leave your foot in better health

What if we try upon your hand

Hmm now this to me makes a plan

in this place i think we found

a better spot for socks to sound

Now forget your useless feet

and listen to your new puppet speak

But now what happens when your hands tire

what comes next these socks that inspire

place a sock on each one of your ears

and tell me what you start to hear

The roaring sound of an elephant trunk?

Oh yes! Yes! Yes! No socks full of stunk.

For if these things are on your head

They wont hold the stick from the feet to dread.

But when your ears can’t find the noise

Where do we put these socks full of joys?

If our feet are too cold, and hands too tired

our ears cannot hear, now what’s inspired.

What about our knobby knees?

Could socks find this a spot to please?

What about around the wrist?

Could socks give this new trend a twist?

And now that you know that socks are not boring

I never want to hear you snoring

Socks are special never meant to ignore

So pull your socks out of your seclusive drawer!
