TEN ODD SOCKS by Jim Dolbear© I have ten odd socks, Where can the others be? I have looked in the drawers, And under the settee. Looked under all the beds, And only found a penny. Turned the duvet inside out, Alas there’s still not any. In the washing machine, I slowly revolved the drum. Even looked down the water hose, Still hoping to nd some. en out in the garden, I searched the ower bed. But I never found one, Only next doors cat instead. If they sold socks in threes, ere’d be no more despair. For then if we lost one, We would still have a pair. Socks if you are out there, I will change you every day. Mend all your holes within, en you’ll never want to stray.
