| "Socksrates" Cotton compression socks and chemical marker on canvas 16" x 20" |
Socksrates! Socksrates!
Rocks it in the BCEs.
Orthotics...? Not the expertise
of Socksrates!
Socksrates! Socksrates!
No drachma-by-the-dozen geez.
The unexamined life displeas-
es Socksrates.
Socksrates! Socksrates!
“Know thyself!”’s among Sock's pleas.
Ditto “Let not fascia freeze!"
(Br-r-r-r-r-r... Socksrates!)
Socksrates! Socksrates!
Mocks PlateHo* Sock's analyses...?
Herr 'Arristweedle** disagrees
with Sock's spondees.
Socksrates! Asks Socksrates,
Socksrates! Asks Socksrates,
"Hey, Plateho! Pass that pithos, please."
Still, Doctor Socks possesses keys
Still, Doctor Socks possesses keys
to subsequent philosophies.
[And now. allow a brief reprise:]
Socksrates! Socksrates!
Rocks it in the BCEs.
Orthotics...? Not the expertise
of Socksrates.
