One fine morning, without a word,
My socks went rogue—yes, it's absurd!
They formed a union, held a vote,
Demanded freedom (and a boat?).

They marched around my bedroom floor,
Chanting, "We won’t take sweat no more!"
They waved their heels in fierce protest,
Claiming, “Feet have been a pest!”

The left one said, “We need a break,
I’m tired of every step you take.
I suffer blisters, grime, and stench—
Your workouts leave me in a trench!”

The right one piped up, “Hear me out!
It’s always shoes that get the clout.
But who’s the hero down below?
It’s us who bear the toe-to-toe!”

My underwear, not far behind,
Whispered, “Honestly, I’ve had a mind…
To join this mutiny of cloth,
You sit all day? I’m feeling wroth!”

The irony? My hat just scoffed,
“It’s tough on you, you’re really soft.
Try sitting on a sweaty head,
Where sunshine makes your wool turn red!”

But then my gloves joined in the fray,
“Don’t get me started on cold days.
Fingers freezing, shoved in snow,
Yet still we wave hello and go!”

With socks now lounging on my chair,
I muttered, "Fine, I’ll go bare."
And as I walked across the floor,
The rug winked, “Careful! Im splinter core…”

So here I stand in grand defeat,
A sockless fool with naked feet.
But I can’t help but laugh, I swear—
Who knew my laundry had a flair?
