Array ( [sid] => 9967 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS [time] => 2003-01-08 05:20:00 [hometext] => I had to share this too...my mom gave it to me! It's sooo cute! I absolutely love it. Thanks Mom! I hope you do too! [bodytext] => A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS


Maalox and nose drops and needles for knitting
Walkers and handrails and new dental fittings
Bundles of magazines tied up with string-
These are a few of my favorite things
Cadillacs and cataracts, 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 my bones creak,
When my knees go bad-
Then I remember my favorite things,
And then I don’t feel so bad.

Hot tea and crumpets, and corn pads for bunions
No spicy hot foods nor food cooked with onions
Bath robes and “heat” pads and hot meals they bring
These are a few of my favorite things
Back pains, confused brain, and no fear of sinning
Thin bones and fractures 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 eyes grow dim,
Then I remember the great life I’ve had
And then I don’t feel so bad-

And then I remember the great life I’ve had
And then I don’t feel soooooo - baaaaaaad!!!!!!! [comments] => 2 [counter] => 211 [topic] => 7 [informant] => Vixen99 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 14 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => HumorPoetry )
