PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

There once was a man named crock
who loved to do things with socks.
He decided to fill them with rice one day
Then he proceeded to ask a friend named Mae.

Now what would be the use of rice in a sock?
Everyone listened but some began to mock.
Still Crock didn't give up because he had a plan.
He always did because he was considered a smart man.

He placed the sock filled with rice in the microwave.
He left it there 3 minutes, feeling quite brave.
Upon taking it out and much to his dismay,
came a very warm cloth which on his knee he lay.

Now listen here all you would doubt.
And even those who are prone to pout.
The moral of this story I am not quite sure.
But if you had an aching joint, hot rice may be a cure.
