These are a Few of My Least Favouite Things

Raindrops on paniers and fingers that freeze.
Cold winds that swirl ‘round my body and knees.
Thunder clouds threatening and lightning that strikes.
These are so frightful when I'm on my bike!
When the gears grind and the tires blow and the brakes go bad -
I simply remember my least favourite things, and then I don't feel so bad.

Clients that cancel and bankers who say NO!
Poor open houses and sales that just don't go.
Mortgages fall through and markets that dive -
These are a few things that give me bad vibes.
When the inspection fails, and the client bails and the house won't move.
I simply remember my least favourite things and then my bad mood improves.

Cute little ladies who jog by me on hills.
Laces that undo and cause me some spills.
Snooty rude runners who whine and complain.
These are the people who give me a pain.
When the routes long, and the times wrong and the race is bad.
I simply remember my least favourite things, and then I don't feel so mad.

Trails with poor sign age and hikers who go slow.
Tents that leak water and stoves that just won't go.
Blisters and sore spots and big bugs that bite.
These are some samples of camping "delights".
When the Viking farts and the sungod starts - yakking all night long.
I simply remember my least favourite things and then I just sing this song!

Dudley Do Right and Normie the Stalker.
What two good names to etch in my walker!
In 50 more years when you're an old man -
Male nurses will bath you and give a bedpan.
When the mind fails and the body ails and you're feeling poor -
Just simply remember you least favourite things as Mark pushes you through the nursing home door!

All kidding aside Norm best wishes on your 50th birthday and here's to many more
