My Favourite Things (Bushfire Edition) – Amanda Palmer
By
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens Brown paper packages tied up with strings These are a few of my favorite things
Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels Door bells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings These are a few of my favorite things
Boys in white dresses with blue satin sashes Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes Silver white winters that melt into springs These are a few of my favorite things
When the dog bites, when the bee stings When I’m feeling sad I simply remember my favorite things And then I don’t feel so bad
Rain never falling and whisked away kittens Evacuations and cars people live in Kangaroos burning and birds with no wings These are a few of my favorite things
Beautiful sunsets ironically colored Homes with no power and kids with no mothers Smug politicians with necks we could wring These are a few of my favorite things
Boris and Megxit and Scotty and ISIS And bushfires and wildfires and climate and crisis Silver white icebergs that melt into springs These are a few of my favorite things
When the dogs die, when the bees die When I’m feeling blue I simply remember my favorite things Oh no, I’ll be dead like you
