These are a Few of my Favorite Things
© The Author, 2005Who needs raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, or bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens?
Funny live theater and frozen yogurt with cherries
Paperback novels and my cousin Sheri
Making up lyrics to gleefully sing
These are a few of my favorite things!Bakery cookies and Buffy the Slayer,
The Flaming Lips in my CD player,
New running shoes running shoes for my feet to take wing—
These are a few of my favorite things!Meeting new people from faraway places
Swimming and splashing my friends laughing faces
Sweetheart-ed partners and new haircuts for spring—
These are a few of my favorite things!When my cat bites,
When my job sucks,
When I’m feeling sad—
I simply think of my favorite things, and then I don’t feel so bad!The weather has me all happy today. I’d write for real today, but my bike is calling. ::smile::

You go, [chicagoart]girl!
This is probably a good writing exercise: Take this song and insert some of your favorite things. Make it rhyme. Unfortunately, I’m too exhausted to try right now. All the examples that come to mind right now involve my bed and sleeping in. Oh well.
nice job…wish I had more to say
. Hope all is well. Peace Out and Take Care.

Well, whiskers on kittens are pretty great. But I liked your favorite things.

Not a big fan of whiskers-or anything else-on kittens. But still LOVE your new pic. Your little song’s pretty funny, too.
this triggered my own thoughts and i couldn’t remember where i had read them
