“fresh out-of-the-box”
that offer more pleasure
than a pair of new socks.
I mean “brandy-new”
not just freshly washed,
with fibers all springy.
I mean. . .“Golly, gosh!”
Cotton or woolen,
your feet'll be smilin'.
(Unless, of course,
your new socks are nylon
or some other synthetic
just as pathetic.)
