(In my best Julie Andrews….ahem…)
Turkey and stuffing and gravy on ‘taters,
Laughter and stories and fried green tomaters,
Chez Gainey and Dan, oh, the joy that he brings,
These are a few of my favorite things.
Cooper and Sophie and Kasey, my fur butts,
Backun clarinets and a view that brings chill bumps,
Students who practice and, oh, my heart sings,
These are a few of my favorite things.
When the dogs bark,
When my reed squeaks,
When I’m feeling sad…
I think of a few of my favorite things,
And then I don’t feeeel
Soooo
Bad!
Happy Thanksgiving to you all! I am grateful for each of you.
