The Secret Life of Socks

I wonder, sometimes,
      about the space-time continuum,
          and the economy and global warming.
             But today

    I have read there is a Lost Sock Planet. The worm hole to enter that dimension is within the dryer.

    Those lost socks . . . they accumulate in a remote Tardis along with the world's lost ball-point pens.

    This ones easy!
    It's the Natural Order telling you that socks should NEVER cover
    Your Crimson Tipped Tootsies.
    You'd best be believing THAT!

    I've often wondered the same...I picture them escaping from the washer...one sock helping the other..."You go! It's okay. I'll escape next time." :)
