Lost Sock Found

by tempeste

Another year gone by
and with my spirits high

like a busy bumble bee
I dragged out the family Christmas tree.

A fake evergreen that stands tall
I decorated it with bright lights and red balls.


I wanted then to hang up my Christmas sock
but was dealt with an unpleasant shock.

It was not in its usually box
and this made me very cross.

It was a gift from my little sister many years ago,
to confess it was lost would give her a nasty blow.

The beloved sock is super soft
it s wine red with a white rimmed top.

I searched high and low
while my anxiety continued to grow.

I was in full panic mode
when my sister came near on tippy toe.

She gave me a kiss on my cheek
and told me that last week

she had taken the merry sock
to get a dry clean but had forgotten
it in her glovebox.
