I've noticed, again, a small hole in my sock
And there's something I don't understand:
It puzzles me greatly, I'm baffled, and so
On this subject I now should expand.

This poem is fabulous! I love it. I have one called GOLF SOCKS that I think you might like. Thanks for sharing.
John, you've inspired me! THANKS, BY THE WAY, FOR THE TIP ON SOCK HOLES! bri :) thanks for sharing. goes to MyPoemList. p.s. here is the result of your inspirational poem. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - SPEEDO HOLE I jumped in the pool. I wore my Speedo; I thought my jewels were secured. To be modest is my virtuous credo, though, my swimsuit, some have demurred. Ten laps later I got out to off-dry, intending to sit ….in poolside lounge chair, but then an errant ball I did spy, sticking out of a hole …. with some hair. Yes! My left gonad was all uncovered; I wrapped the towel ‘round and went to loo. Had anyone else, my errant ball, discovered? I checked to be sure that I still had two. Two were there I found, to my great relief; that one had gone wandering made me laugh. I turned suit inside out. Problem solved, my belief. Hole was now on right, and right ball was bigger by half. Yes! When I was born the doctor said to my dear Dad: “Your boy’s right gonad is huge; 50% more than the right! ” My Mom was almost too tired to care, but she was glad …. that I had the normal number of what’s-usually-out-of-sight. Well, I was correct. My right gonad stayed within the Speedo, though a bit of it was showing through the silly hole. I returned to the pool, bending a little my above credo. I never had thought my rightie would come in handy, bless my soul! (February 6, 2015) i shall submit this as my next PH poem and give you some credit.
.......people should learn from you, how to turn everyday incidents into stocks of humor.............lovely write
As I read this my smile just kept getting bigger and bigger - -I love it! .
A nice laugh to brighten one's day. Well done my friend!
The poem is nice and funny. To a poet, anything can be a subject for making a poem including 'socks'.
.......and point it out you did :) What I want to know is how socks are lost in washing machines and are never seen again? Is there some black hole, some cavernous pit within the machine that sucks them in? Do they end up in 'sock alley' or down 'sock it to me hill'? ? ? ? ? ? Where are all the odd socks? : o))))) I know not still. Beam me up Socky, tee hee
Very funny write John - can't say I have experienced this problem myself though, and yes I definitely think you should buy some new ones.
Hello old friend, love your humour in this poem
