My Least Favorite Things
Masks below noses and slush that turns icy.
Sharp thorns on roses and food that’s too spicy.
Waits for vaccines - the frustration it brings -
These are among my least favorite things.
Ted Cruz escaping while Texans are freezing.
Smoking and vaping and coughing and sneezing.
Ex-politicians who think they are kings -
These are among my least favorite things.
Cameras on Zoom that reveal every wrinkle.
Soggy French fries cut to needlessly crinkle.
Skeeters that itch you and bees giving stings -
These are among my least favorite things.
When the sun shines, when the snow melts,
When I’m feeling glad,
I simply remember my least favorite things
And man, I start feeling mad!
