Love this. To sit by someone and just be happy wearing our old socks.

SOMETHING IN THE AIR

"Honey, did you poot?"
Asked young hubby with a sigh.
"No, I thought you did"
Was her thoughtful, sweet reply.

"Well something really stinks,
I guarantee you that"
"I know exactly what you mean.
Did you put out the cat?"

"I don't think that Little Kitty
was what set my nose to twitchin'
But it just might be the cabbage,
You have cooking in the kitchen"

"Maybe the odor of our shoes...
Those well-worn, battered Crocs.
But this stinkin's got me thinking,
It's been two weeks since we changed socks.

Well envisaged and captured - it certainly does tell a story, can't wait to hear it develop!

Cheers,

The only kind of socks I wear, when I wear any, which is practically never.

Look at them , do you see all these people , there scrolling down to see which one they like, do you think they'll stop at ours, I don't know we're a bit different , I don't think they realized were watching them, that's Ok we're having fun , look this one thinking real hard, and him he doesn't know what to say, I like her best she writing about us looking at her, do you think she's figure it out, I don't know, Is this our life , I guess it is , until we find something better to do, quit talking let's look............... what they say I didn't catch that, it's good they write it in that little comment box !

(poem by Therese L. Broderick of Albany, NY, USA)


A COMPLAINT ON THE NATURE OF WOOLEN SOCKS

A simple lie he told me last night,
of no more magnitude than if
he had said he had a hole
in the toe of his woolen sock
when he didn't. I would never have
known he wasn't telling the truth

if only he had kept the lie a secret,
kept wearing his leather moccasins
of deceit. But there's something about
a lie that's like a hole in a sock.
It has to be poked, stretched, shown
to others. Slippers off, he laughed
at me as he ripped it even larger.

I think I like this because they sit side by side, shoes off, possibly talking, and just kicking back. The person with the colored socks seems to be moving his feet up and down and has drunk a nice glass of sometihng or other.They both are minding their own business. I like it. I always wear socks.
Have a great week Nancy.
