Crocs With Socks

How do you wear your socks

Poem Artwork

 

Crocs With Socks

the crocs of which I now shall speak
are not the ones of which you think
it's not the crocs with jagged teeth
but the shoes you wear upon your feet

now before you make fun of my crocs with socks
you better look down and see what you've got
before you judge for my footsie sins
just look around to see what's in

some folk are seen wearing socks with sandals
some to this day still call that a scandal
they'll stop and stare right down at your feet
like saying "get those darn socks right off of your feet" 

now young folk wear their socks so low
can't tell if they really have any socks on
they think it's a crime for a sock to show
why they bother with socks, I just don't know

now older folk often wear their socks so high
they wear them way on up to their thigh
or white socks with tennies won't often be found
they prefer one color and that's black or brown

now some folk wear no socks at all
they like to keep their feet in the raw
but after sweating all day in the heat
when their shoes come off, boy what a stink

now nerds prefer white socks up to their knees
but never, ever make fun of them you see
'cause when you're old, needing that operation
you'll be asking for that nerd in that situation

some folk wear no socks or even shoes
want to go barefoot the whole day through
that's all okay until a spider crawls near
then you'll ask for my shoe for the spider to smear

now I don't mean to judge anyone you see
for socks or not, it's not up to me
it's up to each one, to their own druthers
to put one foot in front of the other

but as long as I wear my crocs with socks
and you can live with what you've got
don't go 'round making fun of other folks' socks
and I'll just keep on wearing my crocs with socks

What a GREAT croc!
But I do the same...
I love my croc's
But with socks, my wife goes insane!

Well done!

My socks have all lost their twin,
So I have only one of each,
So I do wear the one,
And leave the other to takes it's own course, of course...-e-

My granddaughter wears unpaired socks. All the girls her age are doing it. Well, I wear crocs with socks in the winter with jeans or sweats but in the summer, I pamper my feet and wear my crocs without socks. Cool write!

Love ya!

More than I will ever want to know about socks. As for me, I learned to love these thigh-high compression stockings. Except of course, when it gets cold. Then them socks can come out in spades to warm these ingrown toes.

And with this poem, you have really knocked everyone's socks right off. I think you have pretty much exhausted all the possibility. An enjoyable poem. John

What a good read. Not a fan of socks and sandals, but that for sure is not a scandal. The title made me think of Dr. Seuss :)

Hah! I wear socks with my sandals and every other shoe I wear, and don't give a rat's ass what anybody says. Jeez!
