Diaries of a Philobat

Fresh lox on bagels and munching on Skittles

Walking on dark streets while singing The Beatles

Playing an air guitar that has no strings

These are a few of my favorite things.

Reading Bukowski and chomp ramen noodles

Sitting in Caffe Reggio to draw doodles;

Fondly rekindling my most recent fling

These are a few of my favorite things.

Wear purple stockings and long black eyelashes

David Bowie singing Ashes to Ashes

Students that don’t care when the school bell rings

These are a few of my favorite things

When the day sucks,

When the world stops,

When I’m feeling sad,

I simply remember my favorite things,

And then I don’t feel so bad.

Falling in love with a song he has written

All those post punks and misfits from Great Britain

Talking ’bout sex while the old ladies cringe

These are a few of my favorite things.

Golden retrievers and white fluffy poodles

Chocolate truffles and raspberry strudels

Wild Punks on Thompkins Square Park, so unhinged

These are a few of my favorite things

Girls in black dresses and tight fishnet stockings

Guys with big noses that I met while smoking

That analyst whom I told everything

These are a few of my favorite things

When the show stops,

When the love lacks stings,

When I’m feeling sad,

I simply remember my favorite things,

And then I don’t feel so bad.
