FAVORITE THINGS

Raincoats on lushes
And barbells on kittens
Stinky old buses
And loud politicians

Octogenarians out for their flings–
These are a few of my favorite things.

Tailgating morons
And overcooked noodles
Clever, young Yupsters
And turkeys with poodles

The length of the winter, the mud in the spring–
These are a few of my favorite things.

When the smog chokes
When the air clings
When I’m feeling had
I simply remember my favorite things
And than I get fighting mad!

Troops in Mideast
And skinheads in Europe
Donald to the rescue
His feet in the stirrup

Traffic and meltdown, some drunk tryin’ to sing–
These are a few of my favorite things.

Bambo and pinkos
Identity crisis
Miso and tofu
Assorted brown rices

IRS agents, that briefcase they bring–
These are a few of my favorite things.

When the tick lights
When the truth stings
When I’m feeling bad
I simply remember my favorite things
And pray I’m not in Baghdad.

Hassles and conflicts
And Nuclear Winters
Fresh out of toothpicks
And hands full of splinters

Media preachers who yearn to be King–
These are a few of my favorite things.
