An Ode to the Perfect Hospital Sock


Varied colors, lengths, and grips

Some stretchy, some bunchy, some crunchy elastic


Some double-sided, but plagued with a seam

That crowds in the toes in a conspiring scheme


If the rubber’s too bumpy like a hospital cleat

There’s no hope of maintaining my orderly sheets


Too short and direct contact with the leg compression machine

Should my bare skin graze any thing I will never feel clean.


Yet hidden amongst them does lay a gem

with calf high suspension and fabric goldilocks thin


Generously treaded. Rubber flat. Toes have space

Both top and bottom sport an anti-slip smiley face


XXL is my preference, I don’t care the tint

Swollen feet full of saline free from sock line imprints


Many pairs are required, germs contaminate fast

Floors made of lava, like from memories past.


Safe in my foot armor, from both microbes and falls

Such flawless fabrication deserves every bit of applause.


Not everywhere has them, but should I find them in stock

Each pair is treasured The Perfect Hospital Sock
