so this is SUPPOSED to be bad... so you are forewarned!

Socks Astray

Have you ever seen a sock

lying on the ground

not an ordinary frock

not one lost and found

but conveniently discarded

next to the laundry bin

all courtesy disregarded

and your patience running thin?

You find yourself grabbing at it

putting it in its place

but suddenly your husband isn't

finding so much grace.

The lowly sock can ruin

more than one good day

but a Godly woman

knows just what she should say,

What a lovely home I'm blessed with

my blessings do abound

and today and here to forthwith

this floor is Holy ground.

So if your leaving socks

next to the very thing

meant to hold such frocks

you'll be doing your own washing!

Seriously this isn't too big a problem in my house but let's say it has been a phenomenon a time or two... my husband does better than most at picking up after himself, the 8 year old is learning though!
