The Sound Of Music’s “My Favorite Things,” Senior Citizen’s version: Botox and nose drops and needles for knitting, Walkers and handrails and new dental fittings, Bundles of magazines tied up with string, These are a few of my favorite things. Ex-Lax and cataracts, hearing aids and glasses, Polident and Fixodent and false teeth in glasses, Pacemakers, golf carts and porches with swings, These are a few of my favorite things. When the pipes leak, When the bones creak, When the knees go bad, I quite can’t remember my favorite things, But still I dont feel so bad. Hot tea and crumpets and corn pads for bunions, No spicy hot food or food cooked with onions, Bathrobes and heating pads and hot meals they bring, These are a few of my favorite things. Back pain, confused brains and no need for sinnin, Thin bones and fractures and hair that is thinnin, And we wont mention our short shrunken frames, When we remember our favorite things. When the joints ache, When the hips break, When the eyes grow dim, Then I remember the great life Ive had, And then I don’t feel sooooo bad.
