My Favorite Things

Submitted by Hannah W. on Sun, 11/02/2008 - 00:12

I will say this once,
and one time only,
so if you wish to know,
please listen closely

These are the things
that I love the most
from sea to sea
and coast to coast:

I love books and birds,
and bushy-tailed squirrels,
I love funny words,
and hair that curls

I love lobsters and all
the creatures of the sea
I love summer and fall
and the flowers and trees

I love sketchpads and art
and dark chocolate,
I love feeling smart,
and candles when lit

I love puppies and pigs,
I love sponges and soap,
I love poems and jigs,
I love knowing there's hope

I love snow in the front yard,
and long grass in the back,
I love having good cards
in War or Blackjack

I love people and talking,
and fun taxicabs,
I love just to go walking,
then back home to nap

I love staying up late,
and eating ice cream,
I love making costumes,
and licking icing

I love flying kites,
I love fairy wings,
The world is so full
of my favorite things.

Did you get fun taxicabs from "Cash Cab", or was that purely your own happieness?
I agree, jigs are the greatest.
