Here is a little ditty I wrote to the Rogers & Hammerstein classic, My Favorites Things, hope you like it I got a kick out of writing it! I enclose below my favorite instrumental version by the John Coltrane Quartet for your listening pleasure:
Hines over the middle Tomlin has written
With Troy’s talents we are so smitten
Six iced out gold and platinum rings
These are a few of my favorite things
Tailgating Heinz can be too brutal
And blitzing Ben is oh so futile
Crazy Deebo wishes Goodell in slings
These are a few of my favorite things
Girls in white throwbacks waving terrible sashes
With awesome racks and luscious eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into blings
These are a few of my favorite things
chorus
When the bills come
When your life stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad.
Latino women with light whiskered kittens
Antonio Browns’ script already writtens
Front Office knowledge of eternal springs
These are a few of my favorite things
Crushing Brady and making him sniff butyl
Causing Flacco to constantly tootle
Hot girls grinding on bar swings
These are a few of my favorite things
Ike, Woodley,Timmons earning their cashes
And an O-line stronger than fly ashes
Vegas pool parties that end in wild flings
These are a few of my favorite things
repeat chorus

John Coltrane played tenor sax but began playing the soprano sax at the behest of Miles Davis just before recording the My Favorite Things Album. If you like Jazz you can’t go wrong with the My Favorite Things album which was recorded in only 3 days in 1961. It features McCoy Tyner (piano), Steve Davis (bass) and Elvis Jones (drums). This album also featured the Gershwin standard Summertime which inspired Kool & The Gang’s Summer Madness and later DJ Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince. Sadly, John Coltrane died too early at age 40 in 1967, a true American Jazz Icon.
