My Favourite Things

by Debbie Pickett

To the tune of "My Favourite Things" by Rodgers and Hammerstein

Understand this song and you understand me . . .

Shiny blue dresses and choc-flavoured icing
Great furry teddies and hugs are enticing
Red-headed mermaid, whatever she sings
These are a few of my favourite things.

Black fishnet stockings and matching suspenders
People who have indeterminate genders
monash-dot-test, instantaneous ping(8)s
These are a few of my favourite things.

When the core dumps, when the phone rings
When I'm really mad
I simply remember my favourite things
And then I don't feel so had.
