We just watched "The Sound of Music" and unfortunately I've been plagued by earworms from the songs ever since. Everything from Sixteen going on Seventeen to Maria to Edelweiss (My favorite) has been playing on in my mind non stop. It doesn't help that the school near my house plays Edelweiss as the school bell.
So I rewrote the lyrics of "My Favorite Things". I'm sure you all know what it sounds like.
My Favorite ThingsEyeballs and noses and red guts that glisten
Fingers and tonsils and ears that won’t listen
Gullets and brains that are splayed out in rings
These are a few of my favorite things
Guns that backfire and turn you to ashes
Tanks that roll over men, bloody car crashes
Stomachs and colons and bones of the kings
These are a few of my favorite things
Nuclear bombs, neutron bombs, much radiation
Machine gun bullets and crucification
Skulls used as cups and brain nerves used as strings
These are a few of my favorite things
When the guns roar
When the rounds hit
When you’re feeling mad
Just think about all of my favorite things
And then you won’t feel
So bad!
