# A letter to the missing left sock

Dear Left Sock,

Your prolonged absence has created difficulties in the household’s otherwise modest matching programme. Your colleague has taken the news with dignity but is spending more time in the back of the drawer.

We have checked the duvet cover, the space beside the machine, and the pocket of the coat nobody wears. Please advise whether you are now pursuing a career as a cleaning cloth.

No explanation is required if you return before laundry day. A written explanation will be admired but will not reduce the washing.

Yours in cautious hope,
The Laundry Department

P.S. The small blue sock denies knowing anything.

Original comic correspondence. It is not copied from a real letter and contains no real personal details.
