How many socks does one require?

I never thought I’d be doing this, but here’s a little poem on my weird obsession with socks..

(Please read the challenge description for context :P)

How many socks does one require?

A pair, or two, or ten?

But why stop there when I, my friend,

Can have a collection of three dozen!

I have one in every colour of the rainbow,

One in every pattern ever made,

Stripes, dots, mangoes and Batman,

And greys in half of its 50 shades.

That’s not the end of my collection folks,

Nor will it be until,

I fill my closet from floor to ceiling,

And see my ridiculous dream fulfilled.
