There is something
very strange happening
in Ireland today
definitely leprechauns
someone each night
keeps lifting
my socks

I would say
in winter
it looks like
a rainbow land
every different colour
has gone missing


No matter
where I look
never can seem
to find them
I do believe
they use them
as winter hats

One they are dam
cosy on the feet
the other day
I saw a sock
running through
the hawthorn bushes
thought I was seeing things
just vanished
into thin air
kidnapping I call it
leaving a lonely sock

Now I
make my plea
to the little people
please give me back
my socks
these feet
are missing you

I am fast
running out
of pairs
I have
only a few
pairs left
you cheeky
little devils
so please stop
stealing my socks
