Notes About The Poem

A Few of My Favorite Things

Barbequed ribs with the best sauce in town
pancakes with syrup and fries golden brown
Fried eggs with bacon and crisp onion rings
these are a few of my most favorite things
Cream-filled donuts and warm apple pie
peanuts and hazelnuts and cookies piled high
whipped cream and mozzarella cheese strings
these are a few of my most favorite things
Spaghetti with meatballs and sun-ripe tomatoes
extra old cheddar and double-baked potatoes
succulent mushrooms and buffalo wings
these are a few of my most favorite things
When hunger strikes
When rumblings start
When my belly aches
these are a few of my most favorite things
topped off with shakes
Barbequed ribs with the best sauce in town
pancakes with syrup and fries golden brown
Fried eggs with bacon and crisp onion rings
these are a few of my most favorite things
Cream-filled donuts and warm apple pie
peanuts and hazelnuts and cookies piled high
whipped cream and mozzarella cheese strings
these are a few of my most favorite things
Spaghetti with meatballs and sun-ripe tomatoes
extra old cheddar and double-baked potatoes
succulent mushrooms and buffalo wings
these are a few of my most favorite things
When hunger strikes
When rumblings start
When my belly aches
these are a few of my most favorite things
topped off with shakes
When hunger strikes
When anxiety starts
When my belly aches
these are a few of my most favorite things
topped off with shakes
When my belly aches
these are a few of my most favorite things
topped off with shakes

Superb! Yep, I couldn't help but sing it, and it all fit, too. I loved the original; I love yours. Greal parody, Emile.
