My Socks Don't Match

Poem by: californiadreamin
Don't laugh at me
because my socks don't match.
One is striped and one is solid
but they're both purple.
Differences are reason for celebration
not condemnation.
Just because my socks don't match
each other
Doesn't mean they don't match me!

lol...that is exactly what I told my best friend tonight!
since i'm the one that does the laundry in my house, it took me a while to figure out why my daughters socks were so mismatched (i have 13 year old identical twins). one of them makes a point of wearing mismatched socks. i don't mind all that much, but i wish she had told me from the start!

I bet I would love her! And kudos to you for doing laundry!
Hurrah for what and how WE ARE US WHO we roar we are, quietly wearing our purple socks, one striped one plain

still learning to be myself!
Ok, before I leave my comment I have to leave a question:
If you had 10 black socks and 10 white socks in a drawer and reached in while the room was dark, how many would you have to take out to be sure to have a pair that matched?
I share your opinion on the socks 100 percent. When I come out for breakfast wearing stripped pajama bottoms and a red checked wool sportsman shirt, my wife smiles and says "OMG it makes me so dizzy to look at you!"
I don't care, what does it hurt!
Thanks for sharing your poems with me.
By the way, the answer is 3!

I would only ever need to take out two socks. Two feet = two socks. Matching is always optional for me. Thanks for reading!
Short but good...Stay original there is no reason to match

thanks! My clothes match me most of the time, and as I get older I care less and less about what other people think. My new motto is "It's none of my business what you think of me" Words to live by!
we are who we are and should be proud of ourselves .. we are all unique even with our similarities .. what a wonderful message wrapped up in a poem :)

I prefer mismatched socks mainly because it's my little secret. Even if I look all matchy on the outside, I know that underneath it all I am a little rebellious! Thanks for reading. :)
Hilarious. I love it's brevity and honesty.
