Poetry: Socks

by Katley Demetria Brown

Created on: January 04, 2009   Last Updated: January 05, 2009

When nobody's looking

Late at night when it's dark

And everyone's sleeping

The Sock Monster comes out

He lives in the dryer, under the lint filter

No one looks there 'cause it's nasty with

The essence of old clothes and fuzzies

And used dryer sheets

When he gets the munchies, he grabs one-yum!

Color doesn't matter, nor does size

He only eats a few at a time

For his tasty midnight snack

Because he doesn't want anyone to know

He's there

What does he look like?

Is he an alien, animal, human, or ghost?

Although I've never seen him

I know he's real.
