My Favourite Things, Not

Black spot on roses and fingerless mittens Green stinging nettles and flea ridden kittens All creepy crawlies and insects with wings These are a few of my un-favourite things When my back aches When my head spins When I’m fighting mad I just remember my un-favourite things, And then I feel twice as bad. Girls in tight trousers too small for their arses People pretending that they don’t wear glasses Long bitter winters and damp dismal springs These are a few of my un-favourite things When my back aches When my head spins When I’m fighting mad I just remember my un-favourite things, And then I feel twice as bad. People who talk while I’m watching the telly Women who show off too much of their bellies Anyone who whistles and tunelessly sings These are a few of my un-favorite things When my back aches When my head spins When I’m fighting mad I just remember my un-favourite things, And then I feel twice as bad.
