(set to The Sound of Music‘s “My Favorite Things” )
Whiskers and sideburns on Hood Acad. Guy‘s throat
bright crazy plane socks
and warm woolen Pea coats
half-assed apologies, engagement rings
these are my favorite Richard-y things.
Brown bearded goodness
and heroes with bouquets
Ray Bans*
and Converse
and fish supper foreplay
mystery necklaces made of shoestring
these are my favorite Richard-y things.
Spies with tattoos
and accountants with glasses
eyebrows
and Crinkles
and lovely long lashes
jeans that accentuate
t-shirts that cling
these are my favorite Richard-y things.
When the kids fight
when the nerves fray
when I’m feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
and then I don’t feel so bad!
*I’ve been informed that the sunglasses are actually Maui Jim Mavericks
I am saving this for whenever I have the blues…it made me smile 😊

I love your version! You always do an excellent job of matching caps with words. Please don’t think I’m nitpicking but my son sells high end sunglasses and Richard’s are Maui Jim Mavericks (they sell for about $300.) I have a photo if you want to see them.

I wasn’t sure about the sunglasses myself. I did try to zoom in on the brand name to be sure but it was hard to make out. I know Ray Bans tag their glasses up in the corner like that, so I just went with it. what does it actually say, Maui Jim?

Yes. They aren’t nearly as well known as Ray Ban but for people into sunglasses they are well known. http://www.mauijim.com/en/shop/men/aviators/mavericks

Finally back on my computer after being on the road all day yesterday and this is one of the first things I open. Cannot stop grinning. My sister, who is one of only 2 people who know of my obsession, and I have just sung the entire song through and now the tune is stuck in her head. I may make a big RA fan of her yet. She has been watching the Hannibal episodes with him; first thing she’s ever seen with him. One day I must expose her to North & South.
