Pulling up my socks

Lord why do my socks keep falling down, I'm forever pulling them back up. 
Why do they get so dirty and uncomfortable when others want to play. 
Will my dirty socks let my toes wriggle, or just tear a great big hole. 
Will pulling them up make any difference to the feet that they contain. 
Do these holes make these socks a throw away. 

Will pulling them up be like getting out of socks down around your ankles, inside Mudd filled gumboots. 

Oh socks you used to keep me warm and feeling semi safe. 
Didn't really matter what colour, or even if they weren't the same my socks they kept me going.
And every time I pulled them up I could put on my shoes and go. 
Socks don't fail me now and please don't fall off, or realize they are tread bear.
Someone please give me new socks to wear. 
I'm sick of looking for my socks, my feet are getting cold, did someone put them in a draw. 
Did something hide them from me, tore them up in front of me. 
Socks are replaceable but the old thick ones are the most self assuring. 
Airplane ones are so thin, hospital ones have non stick because the person is already stuck. 
Socks played a part in keeping me alive. 
I'll try to keep pulling up my socks and survive. 
Old socks sorry thriving is not an option for you. 
Old socks I used to say they'll do, somethings better than nothing. 
Not sure how I feel about my socks today I've worn so many, too big and these are too small, my toes might turn blue, how can one put them on if they don't fit you. 

Not one size fits all. 

So find a decent pair of socks and pull them up, mosey around to fetch your shoes. 

Then walk tall. 
No more they'll do.
