The Sock

I found it! I found it!
After missing for one year
The matching orange sport sock
Which to me was very dear.

I looked high and low for it.
It could have been anywhere.
Inside another dresser drawer?
Trapped in my clean underwear?

Or maybe lost in the dryer.
Where do those darn socks go?
Perhaps to some other world
Trapped beneath Earth below.

But while setting the Seder table
With Mom’s linens old and dear
Lo and behold! There it was!
My sock—so long gone but so near!
