Okay...cool!!
I was going to start a thread because I'm in the jovial mood myself, but you beat me to it.
Picture it...a nine year old child is traveling and singing Southern Gospel with her family. She steps to the mic and begins to sing, not a gospel song, but
My Favorite Things from the Sound of Music.
After the applause, her father says, "Olivia, that was a great list of favorite things for a nine year old little girl...but we have folks here tonight that look like they might be a little older than that.
Do you have a list of things that are important to
them?!"
And she sings...
Maalox and nose drops and needles for knitting
Walkers and handrails and new dental fittings
Bundles of magazines tied up in strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Cadillacs 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
Just simply remember your favorite things
And then you won'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 pains, confused brains, always something needs mended
Thin bones and fractures and hair that is thinnin'
And we won't mention your short, shrunken frames
When we remember your favorite things
When the joints ache, when the hips break
When the eyes grow dim
Just simply remember the great life you've had
And then you won't feel so bad
