just one pair can be so irresistible
wore day or night, here or there
they're so easily adjustable
they rarely lose their flair
knitted or woven, long or short
cotton, silk, no matter the material
mix and match to any outfit even shorts
they're nothing if not versatile
sure, they get lost sometimes
in the machine, underneath piles of clothes
finding them takes a lot of time
but oh so lovely when they do show
how nice they fit my feet, what salvation
who can resist this extraordinary invention

i am loving this! would you believe i have a handful of pairs of socks to which i have an unexplainable attachment. sock bonding! & if it is cold...no one had better come between me & my wool socks ;)
time was i owned a whole wicker basket full of colorful interesting socks... today i suffice with 12 pairs of gray to keep me from having to match them up..... lovely verse lissa....
Ah...so glad you decided to write this. Interestingly, it's a wet and blustery day where we live and I'm wearing my FAVORITE pair of cozy chenille socks right now. When I put them on, I thought, "Now THESE are body comfort food." I bet you "get" that :).
This is so much fun to read (and actually my first to encounter a poem about socks). Reminds me of younger days when I wore socks everyday. Yes, 'so easily adjustable' and 'versatile'. Cheers!
