Silly SocksSilly Socks I wear silly socks. Socks that smile and socks that speak.Silly Socks
Socks with cats that play on my feet. And socks with fish that look real neat.
Pink socks, red socks. blue socks, new socks. Socks with holes and socks with toes. Plain socks, fancy socks, retro socks and rockin’ socks. I wear silly socks.
