4 - Odds and Ends
Each sock has a partner
Somewhere in the universe
But it’s never in the same draw as its mate
And what is worse,
The only socks that I can find
Are of a different colour.
Some are bright and patterned,
Others plain and duller.
What can you do with thirty-two
Odd socks and not one pair?
Do you think I could match mine
With somebody out there?
Let’s all get together
And see if we can find
That if we all compare our socks
We’ll have two of a kind.
