Where in the World Does the Odd Sock Go?



              WHERE IN THE WORLD DOES THE ODD SOCK GOES?


                                          It happened on a Saturday, like any other.
                                     Sebastian had a list of chores from his mother.

                                                   It had been her only desire
                   For Sebastian to retrieve the clothes from out of the dryer.

                                        Sebastian had done this a few times before
                                   He hopped down the stairs and opened the door.


                                    He finally grabbed the last sock from the back
                                      But he couldn't match the sock in the stack.

                             He looked in the basket, searched under the bed.
                         Sebastian thought, "Maybe, it's lost, stolen, or dead!"


                                    "How could this be?" His little mind inquired.
             "What happened to the sock during its trip through the dryer?"

                                Sebastian closed his eyes and imagined the end
                                      Of his fuzzy, striped, hole-y little friend.

                                                   Does anyone know
                                       Where in the world the odd socks go?


                                 Possibly, the dryer was a time traveling machine
         Sending socks back to dinosaur days or somewhere in between.


                                 Or maybe, there's a great sock magician
                             But he messed up a trick and it went missin'.


                 It could be a six-legged monster with four eyes and no nose
                    Puts the socks on and performs fantastic puppet shows.


                                      The sock could've snuck out of the dryer
                                   To see the socker game go down to the wire.


                               It was probably just aliens that abducted the sock
                                And carried it away from his fellow sock flock.


                                      Whatever the reason, whatever the cause
                               Sebastian never discovered the laundry room laws.

                                 The question still remains we may never know
                                       Where in the world the odd sock goes.

  1. There are a few spelling errors, but I love the story. My favorite is the mouse picture. You are definitely very creative. =)

  2. Clever "socker game" ....maybe more action verb in alien picture (from carried to snatched or something more dramatic). Maybe just one more picture of Sebastian at the end playing with the one sock by himself. He's involved alot at the beginning of the book- but, then never seen again. If you can bring it back for the reader to see himself as that kid, finding something to do with that odd sock, it's a little more relatable. Great job! We loved it- my favorite is the picture of the magician.
