Three Socks
Three socks
In the bottom of the washer
Pants, t-shirts and sweaters already on the drying rack
Just three dampish socks remain.
---
Why three?
Hmmm, is there a sock stuck to a sweater?
Nope, don’t see a sock.
Ah, check the inside of the sweater.
Good idea, but... no sock.
---
Check the clothes hamper.
Check behind, check underneath...
Nope, not there.
Where could the sock have gone?
The washer couldn’t have eaten a whole sock
No gap or hole big enough
---
Well, that’s enough of that
The missing sock will turn up
Or, it won’t.
---
Hang the socks we have to dry
No room
Too many sweaters and t-shirts
Time to reorganize the wet laundry
---
Put these on the back row,
Move these to the side
Bunch up the t-shirts; the wrinkles won’t show in winter
That just about makes enough room
---
Hey, wait a minute
How did this sock get on the rack
Very funny, and well done!
That's where my sock went !
