My Favourite Things - This title comes with apologies to all lovers of the "Sound of Music"! 

Can be used as a Tea Towel or pinned as a wall hanging.

"Wrinkles and laugh lines and needles for knitting.

Handrails and warm gloves and new dental fittings.

Pacemakers, golf carts and soft seats that swing,

These are a few of my favourite things.

Pensions, free health checks,  deaf aids and bus passes,

Loose clothes and slippers and false teeth in glasses,

Footstools and "riser recliners" with wings,

These are a few of my favourite things.

When the pipes leak,

When the bones creak,

When the knees are bad,

I simply remember my favourite things,

And then I don't feel so sad.

Back pain, confused brains and no breath for sinnin',

Thin bones and fractures and hair that is thinnin',

Long ago mem'ries and old songs we sing

These are a few of my favourite things.

Hot tea and crumpets, and corn pads, and bunions,

No spicy hot meals or food cooked with onions,

Old friends and new friends, the laughs that life brings,

These are a few of my favourite things.

When the joints ache,

When the hips break,

When my feet are bad,

I simply remember my favourite things,

And then I don't feel so sad."
