(Sung to "My Favorite Things"). My leader friend in Northridge, Rosemary, composed the following song, with apologies to Rodgers and Hammerstein --
"My Favorite Things"
Raindrops on freeways I'm gridlocked in taffic
Gonna be late and I'm starting to panic
Muffins and bagels a co-worker brings,
And so I eat all these favorite things!
Fresh cookies baking while shopping at Macy's
Bolt to the food court, my appetite's crazy
So many restaurants each one my name sings
And so I inhale my favorite things!
(Bridge)
When the dog wets, when the kids cry
When my soap's replaced
I simply go to pantry, freezer or fridge
And proceed to stuff my face!
Magazine photos, the food shows on cable,
Leftover pizza stares up from the table
Comfy on sofa - the VCR plays
I max out points in my favorite ways.
Coffee breaks, lunchtime, the 3:00 hour
Vending machine taunts my chocolate willpower
Projects piled desk high, the phones always ring,
Open the drawer - reach for favorite things!
Take my vacation, return due to monsoon
In-laws to visit, must redo the guest room
Phone rings I answer, - oy! Mom's coming, too
Time to dive into my favorite foods!
(Bridge)
When my mind snaps, with my resolve
Triggers take their toll
I simply remember there's always a choice
And soon I am in control!!!
