Prompt: Rafty
Every week the same old shock
Finding that surprisingly still-damp sock
It’s been in the dryer for nearly an hour
But this sock feels fresh from the shower
Even worse, it sows seeds of doubt
Have other clothes gone a similar route?
Hiding themselves from the burning heat
Opting to stay wet as a little treat
I’m acting like a detective as I sort
Taking socks to moisture court
“Are you dirty, are you wet?!”
I scream at a sock with an air of threat.
But the sock looks suspicious to me
So I don’t even wait for its not-guilty plea
Back into the hamper, the soggy sock goes
Once again, with the dirty clothes
