Seussical Socks

The rain did not come

The shade went away

So I just kept on knitting

On that hot, hot, hot day.

I made me some zebras

And a blanket or two

Then I looked at the leftovers

And knew just what to do.

"Knit Cat Socks" I heard

From the voice deep in my head

Knit them now, hurry please

Before going to bed.

So I gathered the yarn

Scooped it up in my hands

Got some tea, got the fan

Sat down in my chair with a plan in my head

And I knit

And I knit

And I knit, knit, knit, knit

And suddenly, there they were

The most lovely socks in the land

They were cat socks, sir, cat socks for me

And all I could say was tee hee hee hee.
