The thorns on the roses

the scratching of kittens

rusted out kettles and thin worn out mittens

busted up packages UPS brings

These are a few of my least favorite things

broken old horses and sour apple strudels

the ringing of doorbells

And overdone noodles

old alley cats that screech when they sing

These are a few of my least favorite things

Girls who complain with thier perfect complextions

people abusing the handicap section

the flooding that comes with the rains during spring

These are a few of my least favorite things

When the sun shines

and there's blue skies

and life's not so bad

I simply remember my least favorite things

And then I don't feel so glad

1. Flu

2. Mean cats

3. Cold

4. Winter

5. Writers Block

6. Not knowing what you want to happen in your book. (#TheWorst!)

7. When I'm singing a song and the artist gets the words wrong.

8. Everything

Am I the only one who walks up to strangers and adjusts the length of their hoodie's hood strings so they're perfectly even? Or who goes to the store and sorts and neatly stacks the cans, boxes, and bags of products?

At least tell me I'm not the only one who goes over to other people's houses and isntantly adjust the crooked paintings? Or line up the shoes on the porch by size, color, and style?

Oh, come on, haven't we all done it at least once?

Okay, okay! So maybe I'm just weird, but has anyone opened a bag of Skittles or M&Ms, and sorted them by color before eating them?

You know what...I'm just going to stop before I look completely stupid.

The F*** word

Strong cologne

Spicy food

Headaches

Raindrops on projects,

And whiskers on women,

Bright glaring flashes and warm sticky pudding,

Brown spots disrupting the blanket of snow,

These are a few of my least favorite things.

Cream-colored chocolate and crisp fruit chips,

Doorbells with ditchers,

And schnitzel in general,

Wild animals that try to steal food,

These are a few of my least favorite things.

Girls always texting and fixing their makeup,

Snowflakes that fall down my shirt and my stockings,

Silver-white metal that kills everyone,

These are a few of my least favorite things.

When the sun shines,

When school's out,

When things are going great,

I simply remember my least favorite things,

And then I don't feel so good.

1. Having a hangover (which is something I'm going through right now)

2. Having a hangover from a relationship (ditto)

4. Feeling that I disappointed someone

5. Feeling like I am not doing things right

6. Misunderstandings between people (just communicate, please.)

7. Unnecessary lies

8. Feeling lost (in life; feeling lost in some place is one of my most favourite things)

9. Finding dogs when hiking on a mountain (at least wolves and bears keep away from people)

10. Loneliness

11. Unfulfilled promises

12. Violence against people who can’t defend themselves

13. People who don’t respect privacy (like my landlords who used to sneak into my apartment, organise my shoes and pretend they were never there)

14. Going to the dentist (or every other doctor for that matter)

15. Spoiled individuals

16. Getting sick

You tap on the window of the passenger seat,

fingers spelling out the rat-a-tat-tat

You snap your fingers too hard

a forced, uneven sound

You whistle a tune

that no one has heard before

over and over and over again.

That same night,

your fingers trace loving patterns on my face

and your embrace smells like lemons.

You smooth my hair back and tell me

that you love me

over and over and over again

and I can taste your strawberry smile when you kiss me.

It's the rat-a-tat-tat,

the snapping,

the whistling

I need to remember that I said goodbye to,

not the patterns

and the lemons

and the strawberry smiles.

Incognizance

Ingratitude

Violence

Abuse

Lies

Betrayal

Rejection

Prejudice

Discrimination

Elitism

Arrogance

Unwanted noise

Dirty feet

Anchovies

Tofu

And TRUMP
