DIRTY SOCKS<\/p>\n

Now dirty socks, in a box,
\nWill make your bedroom stink,
\nDon’t be slack, bend your back,
\nAnd go wash them in the sink.<\/p>\n

But if you should fail, I won’t tell,
\nYet the odor will give you away,
\nDon’t be a dope, get some soap,
\nAnd please do it without delay.<\/p>\n

This was fun, but now I’m done,
\nNo doubt you think I am sick,
\nWell, maybe so, I don’t know,
\nDoc just gave me a needle prick.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
