Just a Thought - These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things

by - December 23rd, 2004

Sung to the tune of "My Favorite Things"

Green iPod minis
in pristine white cradles.

Noise canceling headphones
with the Bose label.

iMacs that chime
with a familiar ring.

These are a few of my favorite things.

30 inch displays
that make your eyes boggle.

Power Mac G5s
that everyone ogles.

AirPort Express
that can make it all sing.

These are a few of my favorite things!

When the worm strikes,
when malware bites,
making PCs feel sad.

I simply remember that I use a Mac,
and then I don't feel so bad.

Digital cameras
snap pix in a second.

Games that are online
with your choice of weapons.

Chat rooms where I can have virtual flings.

These are a few of my favorite things!

Living with iLife
has made my life easy.

Gaming in 3D
can make me feel queasy.

Yet I wouldn't trade it for big diamond rings,

cuz these are a few of my favorite things

All my work froze
while in Windows,
'cause updates were bad,

I simply remember that I use a Mac,
and then I don't feel soooo saaaaadddd.

Vern, you do a mean Julie Andrews impression. That blue dress swirling around as you dance through the Apple Store. Brilliant.

"Chat rooms where I can have virtual flings."

That's pure poetry right there. I laughed out loud, man...
