A thimble of resistance!

I'll stop that now.

A several socks, rampant, with a thimble, needle, and some thread?

Hmm, I wonder wehat a rampant sock looks like

Terrible to behold!

Hmm, threatening socks, not come across any so far

I expect they've all been couchant.

Maybe they're secret sock agents

Perhaps they are. Hey, just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not after you.

Not after me surely, or they won't get their sock sanctuary

I expect they're just making sure you're ok.

Maybe they're body, erm, footguards

That'll be it.

They're quite effective foot warmers too

And especially inconspicuous.

Apart from the SSA badge

Oh well, it's easy if you know what you're looking for, of course.

secret service socks are the worst.they allways hide out and turn up where you least expect them

Or the best, because they turn up in the nick of time.

They do have very good training

They don't ever have to burst through windows with guns a-blazing or anything like that because they're *already there*. Wonderful, eh?

They can fit through the letterbox or even under the door
