Socks.

I’m missing a sock - “Oh, DamnDrastic!”
now I’ve twisted my knicker elastic!
Was it Miss Butterfly
with her net -
swooped in the Tumbler
so now, I’m upset?

Where’s my sock gone, “Oh Dear Me!”
I think it was Mr Diver, you see,
he scuba dived
in the washing machine
a matching pair -
just my pipe dream!

That sock! DamnDrastic! Where has it gone?
‘twas in my drawer
with the other one!
Ah! Miss Sneaky must have crept
into my bedroom
while I slept!

My other sock - with fancy stripes -
it seems to have vanished -
overnight!
Who’s the culprit?
I’ll find out soon
and search for it
in another room!

“Ah! I’ve got it!
I think it’s you;
with one sock red, the other, blue.
Mrs Odd Socks -
the blue one’s mine,
so you keep your socks
and I’ll keep mine!”

Yes, she took it -
from the laun-d-ry
bold as brass,
where all could see!
Perhaps she’s lost her sock as well,
but if I have it,
I’ll never tell.
