Those of you with children, and even those of you without kids, probably all know the book One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish. It's one of Dr. Suess's most famous, after Green Eggs and Ham and The Cat in the Hat. Here is my homage to both socks and Dr. Suess....(through the first 17 pages of his book).
One Sock Two Socks....
One Sock
Two Socks
Red Sock
Blue Sock
Black Sock
Blue Sock
Old Sock
New Sock
This one has little stars
This one has a train car
(okay, so it's an engine, give me some creative leaway)
Say, what a lot socks there are!
Yes, some are red,
Some are Pooh,
Some are old,
And some are Tigger too.
Some are a fad
Some make you glad
Ang's socks are very, very rad.
Why are they a fad, glad, and rad?
I do not know,
Just don't show her dad.
Some are thin
And some are fat.
The fat one is a big brown cat.
From there to here
From here to there
Angela's socks
are everywhere.
Here are some
Just for fun
And some when
She has to run
Oh my! Oh me!
Oh my! Oh me!
What a lot of
socks I see.
Some are two socks
And some are four
Some are six socks
Though there may be more.
Where do they come from?
Ang's room I say
I don't think some have ever
Seen the light of day.
I see Ang come
I see Ang go
Why her socks don't match
I will never know.
Her socks knee high
Her socks real low
Not one pair is like another
Don't ask me why
I am just her mother.
