People wear socks every day,
Some for work, and some for play.
Plain or frilly, stripes or lace,
Any color, any place.
*
Short socks, long socks, soft or thick.
Thermal, argyle, silky, slick.
Socks with pictures or a name.
White Sox, Red Sox, socks of fame.
*
Some will last, some will get runs.
Pippi had some great, long ones.
Nylon, wool, cotton, mohair.
No one likes a holey pair.
*
Just one sock was all it took
To change an oddball in a book.
The sock, given by trickery,
Set the house-elf, Dobby free.

This poem was written, in a Dr. Seuss style, for a prompt with Vocal Writing Prompts on Facebook. Thanks for reading!
