I was doing laundry the other day, and witches stole my socks! At least, I assume they were witches. The owners of the laundromat were a trio of old ladies with warts and pointy hats. They were standing over one of the washing machines, tossing in strange ingredients and chanting: "Double, double toil and trouble. / Water and detergent bubble."
At first, I didn't realize that anything was wrong. But when I was folding my laundry, I noticed that I was missing exactly one white sock, one black sock, and one blue sock. And the three witches were strutting around on the far side of the room, one each wearing a single white sock, a single black sock, and a single blue sock.
Perhaps it was just a coincidence, but I was suspicious nonetheless. So I went over to tell the witches about my missing articles of clothing. Unfortunately, when I mentioned said socks, one of the trio merely pointed to a sign hanging on the wall. It read: "The management is not responsible for lost or stolen items."
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is what one gets for washing socks at a laundromat run by witches.
I stopped putting clothing in the machines at that Laundromat as soon as I saw the sign. It's one thing when the lost or stolen items are from random people walking in off the street - they don't have that sign to protect them. When its the management stealing it - especially witches, who are apt to turn you into a frog if you complain and have the power to do so - there's unfortunately not much you can do.
Personally, I just decided to buy a washer and dryer and do it at home. :)
I wash them in the Sink
I wash them like a Dink
But while I wrote this poem
I was neglect to Think
Well, I have a washer and dryer at home, and I'm not sure how, but I'm sure that Witches still steal my socks.

Magic. That'd be my guess.

I can't imagine anyone really wanting to cause that particular change in reality in cofnormity with their will.
It's a lot of effort just to get random single socks.
By the way, I always wear mismatched socks these days because I've decided that no one will notice.

Pffft, oversimplified claptrap ;)

I sold all my memories before the age of three to a witch; I don't loose socks anymore.
Of course, in reality, I wear flip-flops all the time now because I live in Hawaii...
Well there you have it. If you a wanna keep your socks, give 'em something totally useless.
I don't lose any socks, but that's only because the witches steal my chest hair instead.
Before I can grow it.
