Sock Monkey: A Shakespearean Sonnet

A Shakespearean Sonnet on a child's love of her pink sock monkey.

A young girl's nightmare rids the room of life
Scared and curled, she screams for daylight to save
Reaching for her friend to battle her strife
There's a pink sock monkey to make her brave

A permanent stitched smile adorns his face
His deep dotted eyes, the color of mud
A fluffy heart and the beauty of lace
White stripes on his belly make him a stud

A playmate, a buddy, a friend, and more
Comforting her when her pulse becomes quick
The best friend a girl could ever ask for
Courage while scared and medicine while sick

No matter how many friends there will be
No one can replace her pink sock monkey
