What is it with the errant sock,
Which tends to scorn, to taunt and mock?
Into the wash I put a pigeon pair,
When the laundry’s back, one isn’t there!
It’s adopted a stunning camouflage,
And it will require skilled arbitrage,
To get the little sucker back,
Expertise I fear I lack.
If I don’t pay close attention,
They turn up in some 4th dimension.
I resort to wearing spots with stripes,
A look that I can’t say I like.
Left foot red and right foot blue,
In the circs, what would YOU do?

I want to start a business where people buy only one sock, they can get a 50 discount if they bring me a sock that has lost its partner. I will get on the internet, perhaps Amazon, where I will make my millions…..
I love this idea William! Perhaps I should do the UK end and you do the US?! X
