Two mismatched socks do I wear
down upon my feet;
one is old and loose and worn,
the other snug and neat.
And as I skip and walk and stroll
all about the town,
not a worry's paid the younger sock;
its mate keeps falling down!
Perhaps I should too mention
that the elder sock,
despite its threadbare, stubborn nature,
sure has seen a lot.
And though its younger counterpart,
trustworthy and fair,
may not have seen as many steps,
together they're a pair.

Original and fascinating. I have mismatched socks, although they're always long lost cousins from a drawer of ill-repute.

I found the rhythm skipped a beat on this line;

"not a worry's paid the younger sock;"

Perhaps you could change it to 'no worry's', it might sound better. Just a suggestions.

Keep writing.

I think it's silly and a waste of brain space, not to mention a waste of what may be good talent. Don't be mad, I'm just giving an honest review.
