Socks

Dear socks,

I apologise for your current abandonment. I can assure you it is nothing you have done. Many of you may have been sporting thin patches and holes of late, but that is not the reason you have been holed up in the sock drawer. You see something rare has happened. It is something my memory tells me used to happen every summer, but my current memory has little data pertaining to this event. The event in question? A prolonged period of sunshine, and therefore heat. This has led to a limited need for you, my dear socks. Until this point you were very ably doing your job of keeping my feet, toes and ankles warm, and of stopping my shoes becoming a cheese fest. But now, well my feet are too warm for you. The air around my flip flops, and the non absorbent material they are made of means my flip flops are less bothered by foot perspiration. Maybe I should get you out of your drawer and take you on outings, you are just not used to being unneeded for this amount of time. Maybe the need for double sock layers the cold winter gave us has actually left you grateful for the break. Whether the case or not dear socks, rest assured I do love you, I do need you, I do appreciate the great job you do. Just not right now. Enjoy your holidays. Send me a postcard if you go anywhere nice,

With lots of love,

 Your dear wearer,
