Sock Hop

I am knitting ankle socks.

They are such fun to knit...

an inch and a half of cuff

and off you go...

Actually I have dubbed them

"Croc" socks.

I'm tempting the Gods 

and hoping my version of ankle socks

will be a comfortable fit with

Crocs... the grand girls favored

footwear.

And in the process I am

remembering ankle socks

worn with saddle shoes.

Remember saddle shoes?

And Sinatra?

And sock hops?

Oh my! Dances in the gym

in the days before everyone wore

sneakers on every occasion...

And shoes had to be removed

to preserve the dignity of the

highly polished  gym floor.

I seem to remember that

girls asked boys to sock hops

 in the fifties but my friend, 

Pat B., thought that it was still

a boy ask girl affair.

I will defer to her memory.

I'm thinking to knit lots

of ankle socks and promote

my own sock hop.

How does that sound?
