Light Colored Socks

 In my second sock drawer
Where all my light colored socks lay

The knee highs
The mid calf’s
And the ankle socks

The socks that make you look
Whiter than sour cream

The socks that make you contemplate
If you went outside this summer......
Or ever

Let’s say you were in a play
You could nail the role as a blizzard

Light colored socks
The socks you can only wear
If you’re in a suit of darks

Light colored socks
peak out of your shoe
And are instantly displayed
 to the whole world

The socks that will give you
Fits all day

The socks people actually notice

The socks that are unacceptable to wear
To any sporting event
Besides practice

Light colored socks take your
Ashness to a whole new level

Layer on that lotion

So to all my fellow people—

Get yourself
A nice pair of dark socks

Knee highs
Mid calf’s
Or even ankle highs

I like that you can take this to da deeper meaning, but also not because it’s just about lituðum sokkum.

I really liked this poem because it’s super relatable! I always try to wear dark colored socks so my legs don’t look “ashy”. 😂
