What I Like

I like a peanut with a shell, A cherry with a stem; A church clock with a tolling bell, A crown that's all a'gem. I like my coffee steaming hot, My bottled beer ice-cold; A sharpened pencil set to jot, An anecdote well-told. I like a bed that's neatly made, A day when breezes blow. A tree with leaves providing shade, A place where flowers grow. I like to see a flock of sheep, To hear a tinkling chime; And most of all, I like to keep My thoughts lined up in rhyme.
