I had a little socky

I had a little socky

It escaped from my top drawer

Grew arms and legs, a socky head

Then fled my bedroom door!

It slid along the hallway

Like all sockies love to do

Went sliding through the kitchen

Then out the front door too!

So off full pelt, my socky flew

A hopping down the street

It wondered if there’s other socks

Out running without feet

It hopped towards the city

And saw socks all stuck in shoes

It yelled, ‘Escape! Off to the beach’

‘You’ve nothing left to lose!’

The socks all got excited

And tripped up their owners’ feet

Untied the laces, blew off their shoes

And joined together in the street!

A thousand socks ran wild and free

A wonder for the eye

Down Williams Street towards Kings Cross

The Coke sign, then Bondi!

Into the sea, the sockies splashed

All sizes, big and small

And floated on their socky backs

Without a care at all
