My Favourite Things

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

favourite things.

Cream colored ponies

and crisp apple strudels

Doorbells and sleigh

bells and schnitzel with

noodles.

Wild geese that fly with

the moon on their wings

These are a few of my

favourite things.

Girls 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

favourite things.

When the dog bites

When the bee stings

When I'm feeling sad

I simply remember my

favourite things

And then I don't feel so

bad.
