A PAIR OF SOCK COUPLETS
Among the worst of sartorial scandals
Is the wearing of socks with open-toed sandals.
I’m a lover of fashion so forgive me my rants
when I see grown up men wearing socks with short pants.

A fine write and pic Michael.
Cheers O
So very true, strangely my wife and I were talking about this yesterday.
Great minds Andy...
Socks come in PAIRS
The law declares
So what a shock
TO find in MY SOCK DRAWER
A SINGLE SOCK !
Thanks MICHAEL ~ very droll ~ also love the reprise of BARRINGTON
Another reason why I believe the Female of the species (FEMO SAPIENSSE) is much more superior to the Male ~ is summer dress ~ ALL Ladies manage to look stunning (Especial Ladies Day @ the races !) and Ladies are even more beautiful AL NUDO ! men in SUMMER TRIBAL COSTUME all manage to look like merde ! Thanks BRIAN !

Barrington is a bit of a character - I'll see if I can dig out more of his cartoons,
yes men seem intent on looking dreadful in the summer season - no sense of dress at all - but that also goes for winter !!!
My wife often reminds me of it with our son when getting him dressed. No socks since he's wearing his sandals.
You've got a fashion savvy wife there - thanks for looking in.
Now - 'Great minds think alike'. I also heard: 'Small things amuse small minds'! No names, no pack drill! heehee.
the second line to that is:
' Little things please little minds
While bigger fools look on'
there is a third line...!
Cheers Orchi.
Saves ya washing socks then, if not wearing any!
Yes but you have to wash your feet more often. If you can bend that low 🙂
Michael,
Love the gnomes! Fun fun!
Your couplets ring true! That faux pas was rectified when he married me! Lol
~Laura~
I did a whole series of these cartoons and will post more - thanks for the encouragement Laura.
Glad you put hubby right!!
This is our second round...with each other!
He’s more than “right”!
Now my son is in charge of his wardrobe! Always impeccable...the both of them!
My damaged lower legs
are such an awful sight
i'm loathe to expose them
in even darkest of night
for i'm an exception
to your sartorial rules
lest i attract unwanted attention
from hoi polloi fools
Might be in the same camp - I rarely wear shorts unless the weather reaches well into the thirties - thanks dusk.
Love the write by the way.
very clever
Cheers wc
