Socks ... in a box !
Socks in box !
Socks in a box!
Last Christmas, this Christmas,
and every Christmas;
Socks in a box!
Jane had knickers,
black lace and frilly.
I suppose they imagine
I'm too old for silly.
But socks in box ?
Not even bright coloured
or patterned or jazzy.
Do they really assume
that I wouldn't like snazzy?
Socks in box!
How boring is that?
There's more interest and style
in what they bought for the cat!
Even Janice had perfume,
musky and somewhat erotic;
but sock in a box?
Not my idea of exotic.
Well this year, I tell you,
they're all in for a shock.
For in each gift wrapped parcel
will be ... just one sock!
One sock for Anna.
One sock for John.
One sock for each of them
until, at last, they're all gone!
Socks in a box! Bah!
