In quiet darkness
ferrets creep under blankets
to nibble your toes
Come morning I wake
frown at my shivering feet
socks have been stolen
Not under the bed
not behind the big dresser
oh, where are my socks?
Cute chubby furries
asleep in the bottom drawer
in a nest of socks
Slowly walk away
cold feet so unimportant
babies are sleeping.
