Topic: The Prodigal Sock

A true story....

The Prodigal Sock.               Phill Williams.

I delved into my sock drawer.
Pulled out my favourite socks.
Red on toe and heel.
And grey up to the top.

I slipped them on my clean dry feet.
I'd just stepped from the shower.
All dressed and sprayed.
And shaved and clean.
Ready for.....whatever.

Several hours later.
Satisfied of thirst.
My socks removed and in the wash.
Then into bed I fell.

Waking up next morning.
Put all my clothes to dry.
Shirts and vests and underwear.
And socks but my-oh-my!

My favourite socks had lost a sock.
I search the washing drum.
I search the washing basket.
The search revealing....none!

Then there below the breakfast table.
A flash of red appeared.
My prodigal sock had revealed itself.
My relief was so sincere.

The moral of this story.
If it needed one.
Is; don't give up on what you love.
It's there, somewhere, no doubt. 

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Loved the humor  Phill. It has has happened to most of us.     

Music is what feelings sound like.
Music is life, that why our hearts have beats.

Phill

A splendid correlation between sock and one's passion in life.
You never cease to amaze me !!
Happy June my friend !

Thanks guys, as I always say; when you think of something write it down. Finishing off is the hard part!

lol lol lol

That's brilliant writing, Phill ... thanks for the grins & chuckles. You got me to thinking about other things which have to be used in pairs (gloves, shoes, ski poles, etc.) and how a missing one makes the other one pretty much useless. Glad you found your red-toed socks. Wear them with dignity, 'cuz they're probably the only socks on the planet that have a poem written about them.

This is true, my friend, unfortunately having found the sock it now appears to have a hole in the toe...do i feel another poem coming on? NO.

SKI POLES?

can you imagine turning up at a gig with your amp but no guitar? i've done that, what a nightmare that gig was.
