My Favorite Things

Warning: To understand this post, readers must have heard the song “My Favorite Things” from the legendary 1965 musical, “The Sound of Music.” 

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens

Tenacious centerbacks much fiercer than lions

Strikers with anger and blazing fast wings

These are a few of my favorite things

 

bom bom bom – dum dum dum – bom bom bom – dum dum dum…

 

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudels

Center midfielders with brains that see passes

Holding midfielders who murder all weaklings

These are a few of my favorite things

 

bummm….dom dom! dom dom!

 

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes

Goalkeeps with handling and top notch reflexes

The best trequartista whose long shots will sting

These are a few of my favorite things…

 

When the dog bites!!

When Liverpool wins!!

When I’m feeling saaaad…

I simply remember my favorite things…

And then I don’t feeeeeeel…. sooooo bad……
