Sock Box
Our family has a cardboard box
That’s filled with lots of single socks
If there’s a sock that has no pair
We know we have to store it there.
Once a month we tip it out
Spread the singles all about
Pair up all the matching ones,
Then make some mismatched sets for fun!
That’s filled with lots of single socks
If there’s a sock that has no pair
We know we have to store it there.
Once a month we tip it out
Spread the singles all about
Pair up all the matching ones,
Then make some mismatched sets for fun!
