My Least Favorite Things
By veronica lynn | August 18, 2008
The other night I saw a very funny ” Sound of Music” inspired episode of ” Will and Grace”.
It reminded me of a poem I wrote a few Christmas’ ago.
My Least Favorite Things
( A holiday worker’s spin on an old classic. See http://www.stlyrics.com/lyrics/thesoundofmusic/myfavoritethings.htm for original lyrics)
By: Veronica Lynn
Cash registers ringing, receipts being given
Sales on scarves and warm woolen mittens
Early bird specials and the shoppers they bring
These are a few of my least favorite things
Cream colored cars with the keys locked inside them
People describing their kid to me cause they can’t find him
Endless lines from my desk to the door,
These are the things that I find a bore!
People asking for endless directions
That they don’t listen to bringing them back again.
Packages left behind, drinks on the floor.
So aggravating- can’t take it any more!
When black Friday comes
Makes me so sad. Really I could cry
Why come to the mall at five in the morning
When those tacky sweaters you crave so bad,
Will still be there at nine.
* If you are one of those aforementioned early shoppers, I’ll forgive you if you come by my info. booth and say hi.
