Favorite Things

    by: RatDog Author IconMail Icon
You're speechless, you don't know what to say to him. You haven't seen him since
he walked out on you and your mom years ago.

Saying nothing further, your father dons the mask again and resumes playing the
saxophone, a perfect rendition of Coltrane's take of the old song "Favorite
Things".

Impulsively, you start singing. Not the original words of the song, but cynical
lyrics of your own, inspired by remembrances of your childhood:
"Raindrops on beer cans and roaches in kitchens,
Half empty rum bottles, drunk in one sitting,
Broken toys fixed up with duct tape and string,
These are a few of my favorite things..."
