Severn-

Indeed there are many verses that relate to "The Perversity of Inanimate Objects":

The next came in was a sock troll
Whose dress was exceedingly droll,
Whose dress was exceedingly droll,
When he joined in the jovial crew
For he was attired in socks he'd snatched,
Argyle, stripped, and some was patched,
And not a single one did match –
When Jones ale was new, me boys,
When Jones ale was new!

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
