Missing Socks

I can't help but wonder

why my socks aren't all there,

not my good pairs over my old ones

but, the right or left foot, as it were.

Also I'm having a time, of late

over a sillier thing in my head,

"I found the item in the last place I looked!"

Why is it, that that phrase is said?

Who would keep looking? It doesn't make sense.

It's a crazy sentence to say,

try it the next time you've found what was lost

and keep searching for it, anyway.

If I ever found all my missing stockings

I'd be so glad in my heart,

I think I'd be tempted to sew them together

so they'd never again come apart.
