irresistible

my socks are judged by the shocks they give
when i shuffle down the hall
for a minute i stand as the most merciless
magician of all
your sleeping body, cozy on the couch
will curse my name
you'll hate me for a second
and retaliate just the same
if you catch me...
when my mighty lighning bolt leaps forth
i'll well be on my way
galloping back down the hall
to my fortress, to hide and wait
i'll celebrate my sneak attack
until all swearings cease
then slip into something comfortable
and offer you some peace
