Dirty socks, a diamond earring and a phone charger.



I'm sick of it,
Of that message tinkling bell 
Interrupting my thoughts
Once again.

I need to have the phone on
Waiting for that message
That will fix my book cover.
 
A ring, I pick it up, 
No, it's only trivia
I pick up a dirty sock 
Lying on the floor,
And put the phone inside
That's much better.

I pick up the other sock 
Better to keep them in pairs 
Don't you think?
There's a bump in it
I wonder what is it.

Shaking the sock
A diamond earring
I've been looking for
Slides on the table.
Dirty socks are so useful!

After some time 
Silence, pure silence,
Uninterrupted silence
Came up from the phone in the sock
The battery ran flat.
I need the phone charger
Where did it go?
In another dirty sock maybe.
