Note: To be sang to the tune of My Favourite Things from The Sound of Music. According to Julie Andrews in the movie, all I have to do when I’m scared is remember my favourite things. I give it a try.
Raindrops through sunshine and oily Hokkien mee
Chunky page turners with nutty hot coffee
Empty jungle trails and silver earrings
These are a few of my favourite things
Long runs past mamaks with delicious rotis
Netflix on sofa with peppermint tea
Lift under airfoil of aeroplane wings
These are a few of my favourite things
Jet A1 in fuel tanks and purring propellers
Pale nude nail polish on fearless leaders
Buffet spread worthy of a queen and her king
These are a few of my favourite things
When lightning strikes
When in a fight
When I’m feeling scared
I simply remember my favourite things
And then I don’t feel…
so bad.
