"A Few of My Favorite Things"

(Sung to the melody of “These are a few of my favorite things” from the Sound of Music by Rodgers and Hammerstein)

These are a few of my favorite things

Statues with ribbons
And bright colored banners,

Name tags and ballots
World Bank and timer,

A lectern and gavel
And ahs that go ring.

These are a few of my favorite things!

Hands that go clappin
And words that go tappin,

No time for nappin
Table topics is happnin,

Speakers that fly
With a song on their wings.

These are a few of my favorite things!

When the fear strikes
When the words go
When I’m feelin sad:
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don’t feel so bad!

Adapted by Fred Sadler for his #10 speech entitled “It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood” – NPS Toastmasters Club #2032 - May 18, 2007
