A sock story

Maybe 10 years ago
I went to a banquet
An awards banquet, for journalism
with my then-boyfriend

He was nominated for an award
So was his mother
We sat at the same table
And ate chicken, I think

I don't remember who won
an award that night
But someone at our table
"won" a pair of soccer socks

Whoever won them
Didn't want them
And gave them to me
They are blue and say "diadora"

I still wear these socks
Since they're really warm
especially when it's cold
like today.
