Origin Story

This is my wacky origin poem/story. I know it doesn't make any sense but who cares. It has a beginning, middle, and end. The middle part is a poem.

Origin of Socks

Prologue

People die every day. But many used to die from the lack of comfortable materials on their feet. Day after day, peoples’ feet were left uncomfortably alone and often would cause a collapse of the brain, leading to either death or paralysis. Scientists looked for answers for years, eventually getting to the “pillow on foot” method that decreased death statistically but caused more awkward circumstances with large pillows on feet. This caused people to die of such things as embarrassment and falls caused by large pillows on the feet.

Story

That’s where the origin began
With a guy named Stan
He knew something was wrong
Nothing could help, not even a song
So he had a plan
Not an ordinary plan
One that could change people and feet
One that could take off some heat
He had created something
Suited for a king
But they will be cheap
And worn by all that have feet to keep
If only we had something to put our feet into
He said with a “phew”
Because he was relieved
And began to believe
That this problem can be figured out
He just wanted to shout
He had created socks
And he sold them by the box

Epilogue

That’s how and why socks were created. No one ever died from uncomfortable feet ever again. Stan became a billionaire but lost it all gambling. So that’s when he created Gamblers Anonymous and its 12 step program for people like him. Then, he died of alcoholism and is still known as the “alcoholic sock man.” His son now owns the sock business.
