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.
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 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.
Remember these words from The Sound of Music?? A nice song to hear, but not one I can really understand. Satin sashes and woolen mittens don’t somehow figure on my shopping list. So here are a few of MY favourite things.
- Leaving footprints on the wet sand while walking on he beach.
- Eating cheese cubes with a lot of ketchup.
- Taking pictures of sleeping doggies on the street.
- Listening to my best friend whistelling a song.
- Riding my bike in the rain.
- Playing sad songs on my casio.
- Getting up late on Sunday mornings.
- Making my mother sing lullabies to me.
- Watching the red sun sink into a horizon dotted with small boats.
- Trying to remember the stories my grandfather used to tell us.
- Long drives on rainy days.
- Snooping peoples’ scrapbooks on orkut
- Contests on “who-can-twitch-their-nose-better” or “who-can-keep-their-fingers-crossed-the-longest”
- Doodling on my notebook during a particularly boring lecture.
- Playing antakshari when the power goes off.(thank God that still happens..gives us some quality time to spend together)
- Playing tug of war with Gilloo the dog.
- Having funny dreams and remembering every detail after waking up.
Well there are so many more..i could just go on..
