House of 10,000 Socks

by on

I’ve walked in the house of 10,000 socks

Right in the center of the room was

a checkerboard clock

From zig zag, polka dots, solid and all the colors from the rainbow

I couldn’t believe what I saw and had no where to go

Piles and piles, stacked up next to the walls

Socks everywhere and down the hall

When the clock struck nine it made a rambunctious noise

From the very top bursted 10,000 tiny toys

The socks begin to move and out came the Zentals

I couldn’t believe what I saw, they seemed very kind and all very gentle

They played and played until it was dark

They were very nice and had big hearts

The Zentals were giving and very caring

They had wonderful manners and understood sharing

They crawled back into the socks and turned off the lights

You could hear 10,000 Zentals saying good night!

  4. I googled the word ‘Zental’, i was picturing little elves.

    But apparently, Zental is also the name of an anti-parasite medication.

    With how kind and compassionate the creatures are- did you name them after the medication or was it just a coincidence?

  6. I kind of thought of the women living in the shoe with all the children. Then I thought of it like a Dr. Seuss story. It sounded like a kids tale. Fun poem.
