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
crisp apple strudels,
schnitzel with noodles
wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes,
silver white winters that melt into springs,
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.
