Brotherhood of the Traveling Abraham Lincoln Socks

~

By Rowan Finley Published about a year ago 1 min read

Brotherhood of the traveling Abraham Lincoln socks,

It’s especially fun when Abraham talks,

as a conductor and conscience of sorts,

he tells them like it is, when they ain’t acting like good sports.

Abe peered at Raj during a business meeting,

but his time with Raj was dull and fleeting,

because he had to give a beating

to Benton who broke the law speeding.

Then Abe was off camping with Kyle,

who had hiked quite a few miles.

Just a few weeks later, he was covered by scrubs,

worn by Peter who was a surgical tech who spent some nights at pubs,

trying fill a void or win a mate,

while numbing his pain, striving to satiate.

Abe felt the heat of fire some days,

as he raced with Rick to extinguish a fire in a house’s scorching crumbling maze.

Some days Abe would speak up,

adding helpful hints and wishing luck.

But, other days, he just didn’t say much,

but they all experienced his wise touch,

because it was the brotherhood of the traveling Abraham Lincoln socks.

For Fun
