I love this fun poem! I have a sock eater at my home and a drawer full of his left-overs. This poem rhymes so well and is very funny! One of my favorite couplet is "As silently as sleeping rocks, He lurks among a pile of socks." The end rhyme of bit and favorite slowed me down somewhat; it is my least favorite rhyme, by a bit.....

I've heard that the sock-eater is a gremlin, Verna. He/she/it comes to my house when not at yours. You poem is absolutely delightful--skillfully written, very descriptive, and funny.

Now you have done it. Gone and confused who I should vote for. You or Tyler Sits or The Water's Tale. All promising entries. Best of luck. I need to leave and muse my muse to see which of these three gets my vote. Tee-hee. I loved this piece of yours.

    Thanks for a great review. I wouldn't want to scare you, but if you don't vote for me, I'll send the one sock eater your way!

    Threat wasn't needed. I have already done so.

I think there is an international secret society of sock eaters. I am missing a black one with pink heels and toes - if you have a similar one, I could send mine to you, as it's no use to me on its own! Maybe we should just start a new fashion, and just wear any two socks. I love your fun, lighthearted and well-rhymed poem. Best wishes for the contest.
Wendy

Lol! Enjoyed this poem about the well known mischief-maker the Single-sock eater who leaves the sock mate bereft! And us unable to use the socks unless you're like my grandkids who just purposely pick any two socks from their drawers. Best wishes in the contest!

I enjoyed reading your poem! It was funny, and I admire your fun rhymes. I think everyone can relate to this. The One Sock Eater is well known. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

A very charming and witty
poem. I think it's similar to
Erma Bombeck's literary
style. My very best wishes for
the contest. So much talent
on Fanstory, so little time to
read them all, but I sure do
try, lol!! Blessings to you. ~
