Sock n' Roll cover

In the belly of the washer, midst the laundry's prance, Lived a small white sock, yearning for a chance. A chance to explore, to break the routine, An adventure was calling, in the world unseen.

The sock, quite plain, with polka-dots few, Hungered for excitement, and a bold, grand view. Finding a hole, in the drum's cold steel, The sock slipped through, with a victorious squeal.

Down the pipes it zoomed, with a whoosh and a twirl, Spiraling, spinning in an underwater whirl. Up the sink it popped, with a triumphant flair, Escaped from the washer, it breathed fresh air.

From the kitchen it sprung, hopping with grace, Each room a new chapter, in this wide, open space. In the lounge, it twirled on the shaggy, green rug, Then nestled in a plant pot, safe and snug.

It swooshed down the banister, with a bold, daring leap, Landing in a bowl of alphabet soup, deep. Splish, splash, and splosh, it made quite a sight, For the adventurous sock, it was sheer delight.

Among the cereal flakes, it practiced its stroke, Impressing the spoon and even the yolk. The toast gave a cheer, the butter did clap, For the brave little sock, making waves in the lap.

Then off to the garden, under the sun, It hopped with the bunnies, oh what fun! It clung to a kite, soaring high in the sky, The sight of the clouds made it sigh.

Down the street, it raced the cars, Then danced in the moonlight, beneath the stars. It huddled with kittens, soft and warm, Finding in their purring, a lovely new form.

The sock, once plain, with polka-dots few, Had found the excitement, and a grand view too. Tired but happy, it returned to the bin, A seasoned explorer, with a contented grin.

Back through the kitchen, with a slide and a leap, Jumped into the laundry, in a soft, cushioned heap. From the depths of the clothing, a familiar thread, It was the matching sock, from the same footbed.

"Where have you been, you colorful rogue, From breakfast to bedtime, across the globe?" "Oh, dear friend," said our sock with a spin, "I've been on adventures, now let them begin!"

The pair reunited, they danced with delight, In the tumble of laundry, in the soft moonlight. Once just socks, now a matching pair, Filled with stories of adventures rare.

Through the night, they danced in a whirl, In the gentle rhythm of the laundry's swirl. When the morning sun did rise and glare, There they were, the perfect pair.

Back on the feet, snug and tight, Ready for the day, in the bright daylight. But with a wink and a nudge, as they hugged the toe, They knew they'd always have their tales to stow.
