Lone sock, left behind,
Abandoned, I lay,
In this dark, lonely place
In nowhere, forgotten,
No longer do I have a mate,
Mate has gone, I know not where,
Leaving me with naught to share
No longer do I have a purpose,
No toes to warm, no joy to make,
Missing sock, lonely soul,
Useless, forlorn, retired, and free.
