Full of Holes

December 1, 2017 by The Yak Leave a Comment

Dear Yak,

I love socks. I’ve been collecting them for years. My girlfriend thinks I’m weird, but it means she never has to think about birthday or Christmas presents for me. And whenever friends or family members travel, they always bring me back novelty socks as souvenirs. I’ve got over 500 pairs by now and I like to wear them, too.

The trouble is, sooner or later every sock develops a hole in the big toe. I keep my toenails cut really short, but it keeps happening anyway. I’m not good with a needle and thread, so it’s starting to turn into a collection of holey socks. What can I do?

Yours sincerely,

Gettin’ Toey

Dear Gettin’ Toey,

A hymn for holey socks

O stay with me
thine toes
inside woollen casing
Lest appendage break through
and thy naked toe
in all its glory be
Till thou must darn and darn again
Till all eternity.

Hope this helps.

With kind regards,

The Yak
