Smober the Sock Goblin

Smober the Sock Goblin lives under your stairs
if your home doesn’t have them still he is there.
He’s clammy and dusty and a little bit mad
not angry - but crazy - and little bit bad.

When Smober the Sock Goblin comes out to eat
he crosses the floor with slap­ping bare feet.
He goes to the dryer and opens it wide
then stands on his tip­toes and peers deep inside.

Then Smober the Sock Goblin begins to drool
and gets a gleam in his eye that is ter­ri­bly cruel.
In he reaches and steals every left sock
and takes them all home to cook in his crock.

Smober the Sock Goblin stews them in oil
and dances a jig as he watches them boil.
When he is sure that they are quite done
He slops them out on a dryer lint bun.

He gives his sharp teeth a little black lick
He gulps down those socks quick quick quick.
That’s where the socks go - if you even care -
Smober the Sock Goblin eats half the pair!
