My Friends

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Door bells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things

Boys in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things

When the dog bites, when the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad

Rain never falling and whisked-away kittens
Evacuations and cars people live in
Kangaroos burning and birds with no wings
These are a few of my favorite things

Beautiful sunsets ironically colored
Homes with no power and kids with no mothers
Smug politicians with necks we could wring
These are a few of my favorite things

Boris and Megxit and Scotty and Isis
And bushfires and wildfires and climates in crisis
Silver white icebergs that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things

When the dogs die
When the bees die
When I'm feeling blue
I'll simply remember my favorite things
Oh no, I'll be dead like you
