Poetry: Socks

by Tommy Hayfield

Created on: October 01, 2009

(The FBI sock patrol is searching high and low)

Hello and and high up in the sky my socks are flying away on a UFO.

The Martian (they always blame them) rotates the orbital blimp into place.

The vacuum sucks: up, up, up go my socks into space.

My space socks are floating up high: hello Martian and goodbye: my socks go flying away.

The sock sucker (a Hoover vacuum?!) sucked my line-drying socks up to space:

a Hoover vacuum I suspect for this disgrace!

The Martian sock-sucking vacuum is a belligerent device! What an evil it bespeaks.

A Martian sock sucking Hoover operator I see stealing away!
