To the socks that fit my daughters feet
and stay on:
Thank you.
You are white, matching everything,
yet cute, delighting me with baby chicks;
Thick, making up for no shoes,
and snug, without leaving marks on her skin.
In a dull world of no stirrup pants for infants--
where the fashion fad would have had staying power
due to being truly useful--
at least you socks commit to keep feet warm
and toes clean
and moms sane
since I don’t have to endlessly look for a missing twin
escaped from the job
of warding off chilly Autumn.
Wryly writing on,
Ellen H.
