A Question Concerning Socks: Is Two Colours Enough?
I own many socks. Many, many socks.
I don’t like to do laundry and I hate wearing socks more than once a day. In fact, if I even take my socks off, I am loathe to put the same pair on again. Because I don’t like wearing socks, I take them off whenever I can. So, [...]

To clarify: I’m not asking for your favorite song necessarily but what song you think has the best lyrics considered as [...]
