My Favorite Things

Someone posted this on my poetry website - I just had to share it with all of you!  It is a classic!  Enjoy!

Julie Andrews made a special appearance

At Manhattan’s Radio City Music Hall

for the benefit of the AARP.

She sang “My Favorite Things” from

the legendary movie “Sound of Music.”

These are the actual lyrics she used:

Julie Andrews made a special appearance

At Manhattan’s Radio City Music Hall

for the benefit of the AARP.

She sang “My Favorite Things” from

the legendary movie “Sound of Music.”

These are the actual lyrics she used:

Maalox and nose drops and

 needles for knitting.

Walkers and handrails and

New dental fittings,

Bundles of magazines tied up in string.

These are a few of my favorite things.

Cadillac’s and cataracts and

 hearing aids and glasses,

Polident and Fixodent and

False teeth in glasses,

Pacemakers, golf carts and

Porches with swings,

These are a few of my favorite things…

When the pipes leak

 When the bones creak,

When the knees go bad,

  I simply remember my favorite things,

And I don’t feel so bad.

Hot  tea and crumpets and

 corn pads for bunions,

no spicy hot food or food

cooked with onions,

Bathrobes and heating pads

And hot meals they bring.

These are a few of my favorite things;

Back pain, confused brains and

No deed for sinning’,

Thin bones and factures and

hair that is thinning’ and

we won’t mention our short.

Shrunken frames,

When we remember our favorite things,

When the joints ache,

When the hips break,

When the eyes grow dim,

Then  I remember the great life I’ve had

And then I don’t feel so bad.
