Schnitzel with Noodles


As a second entry today, I was inspired by two daughters to list my favorite things. I will attempt to do it to the meter of the song itself...

Some of My Favorite Things (sung to the tune of Maria Von Trapp's Favorite Things)

Late nights with Debra and her gentle snoring,
Movies and sitcoms and books that ain't boring,
Carne asada with salsa that ZINGS;
These are just some of my favorite things.

Fly fishing, worm fishing, fishing in general,
Chicken from Sanders, including the gristle,
Funny, clean jokes and plucking my strings,
These are just some of my favorite things!

When my back hurts; when my head aches; when my memory sucks,
When I remember some of these things, I feel like a million bucks.

Granddaughters, grandsons, children and in-laws,
I think of them fondly forgetting they have flaws.
Orbison, Elvis whenever they sing,
These are just some of my favorite things.

When the dog craps in the front room and I step in it,
These things I remember they help me recall, it's only some tiny sh*t!!!

With that, the following is another paroday of that famous song:

A FEW OF THE TESTIMONIES
Parody of "My Favorite Things" from Rodgers and Hammerstein's The Sound of Music Lyrics by M. Spaff Sumsion

Brother Johansen says God fixed his prostate
Sister Hill wails that her son's gone apostate
Missy Brown details her trip to Belize
These are a few of the testimonies

Brother Stone calls his ex-wife to repentance
Sister Dean can't form a blubber-free sentence
Ammon Smith's grateful the Jazz beat the Kings
These are a few of the Fast Meeting things

There's unchaste movies at Wal-Mart in Layton
Hillary Clinton's a minion of Satan
God loves you just a bit less if you're gay
These are some nuggets I've picked up today

When this low-key Karaoke
Shows how odd we are
I simply remember I'm not Warren Jeffs
And then I don't feel bizarre

Madison cries that her mom flushed her turtle
Then she announces her daddy's infertile
Tyler loves Jesus and recess and peas
These are a few of the testimonies

Elder Jones gripes that less-actives frustrate 'im
Nine CTR's thank the same things verbatim
Brother McPhie knows Rush Limbaugh is true
And The Da Vinci Code may well be too

Sister Cabell says the United Nations
Must be the beast from the book Revelations
Folks squirm through dubious doctrine and then
Everyone drowsily mumbles "Amen"

When euphor-ya
Starts to bore ya
Here's the thing that's sweet:
Each talk brings us nearer Hymn 152
And then we go home to eat!
