Where, where are the Socks?

Where, where are the Socks?


Drawer packed with socks
Disappeared from basket
Not a match found
In my washer


Hamper filled with socks
Several pairs in
Now missing
In the dryer ducts


Box crammed full
Lefties and righties
Bedroom corner
Awaiting reunion


Drawers’ replenished
Brand new colorful socks
Too lost a partner
In the dryer

As the mother of 4 myself - I know exactly how this feels!!! I always blame myself - indirectly... I just CAN'T BELIEVE when they disappear! ;) Lol Nice light read! Thanks Bonitaj

Thanks Lyz

how much do I hate that? too much. I just bought more socks this weekend. I usually wait until this time of year to replace my socks when they are on sale and I have a JCP cash certificate. I paid 0.78 for (2) pkgs of ladies sock. 5 pairs per pkg. ~~~~~~~~~ Be whoever you are At all times, and Remember that Because of this, people will Always Respect, and Admire you ©2008Leonard Respectfully Yours, Barbara
