shirts hang around in a big gang

chatting about their adventures

where did you go last night

to the coolest restaurant in town

did he take you to work again

yes and its always the same old boring routine

laundry time is a nice swim

ending in torture by a hot iron

socks sleep in pairs in a dark drawer

they get split up when worn

go for long walks

get to watch tv on the couch

before sleeping on the bedroom floor

maybe spending weeks in the laundry basket

hoping to be reunited with their lost twin

sadly ending their life alone at the back of the drawer

underwear might seem a good gig

all shouting me me me when the drawer opens

but it always the same few who get picked

leaving the oldest behind in the dark

underwear is quickly covered up

hardly ever seeing daylight

except in those steamy romantic moments

where they might get trampled on a bedroom floor

jeans are the king of the closet

they get to see everything in life

walking driving relaxing hanging out in bars

the favorite pair can be chosen virtually every day

even when old and frayed they still get worn

never going out of fashion

they bond with their owner

over time accommodating his expanding waistline
