My Favourite Things

Form My Fair Lady

Seniors Version

All Bran and nose drops and needles for knitting,

Walkers and handrails and new dental fittings.

Bundles of magazines tied up in string,

These are a few of my favourite things

Hot tea and crumpets, and com pads for bunions,

No spicy hot food or food cooked with onions,

Bathrobes and heat packs and hot meals they bring.

These are a few of my favourite things.

Back pains, confused brains, and no fear of sinning.

Thin bones and fractures and .hair that is thinning,

and we wont mention our short shrunken frames

when we remember our favourite things.

'

Cardigans and cataracts and hearing aids and glasses,

Steradent and Fixodent and false teeth in glasses,

Pacemakers, gophers and porches with swings.

These are a few of my favourite things.

When the pipes leak, when the bones creak,

When the knees go bad,

I simply remember my favourite things

And then I don't feel so bad.

When the joints ache, when the hips break,

When the eyes grow dim,

Then I remember the great life I've had,

And then I don't feel so bad.

Gordon.
