October 11, 2002 // 10:49 a.m. // Least Favorite Things

On Fridays, I only have three classes. Today, english was cancelled for a test, and poetry as well, as our professor had to attend a writing confrence. This meant only one class, and being home more than 2 1/2 hours earlier than usual.

As I turned onto Harrison Blvd. in Ogden, I noticed a GMC Yukon cutting people off left and right. It seemed to behave as if it had no signal. A little while later, two cars were driving side by side at the same speed (the speed limit!), which didn't allow the cars behind to pass them.

And then suddenly, even when listening to popular 2000's music, "My Favorite Things" from The Sound of Music popped into my head. I began observing and writing a parody of what I saw and what annoyed me on the way home. I wouldn't recommend writing on the freeway, however. Especially on an envelope that's lumpy because there are a multitude of notes and receipts inside of it. This is unchanged, and in its original form.

GMC Yukon's that don't use their blinkers
Darwin and Spencer and socialist thinkers
American cars and the trouble they bring
These are a few of my least favorite things

Boys who don't follow the rules of the shuttle
The boy I debate with that brings in rebuttles
Smog up in Ogden and rain we won't see
These are a few of my least favorite things

Construction on freeways like Interstate 15
Oversized backpacks that need heavy lifting
$1.50 gas 14 gallons, cha-ching
These are a few of my least favorite things

When I win Coke's
When I hear jokes
When I'm feeling glad
Something occurs from my least favorite things
And that makes me feel quite bad

Having the hair to cause mouth-a-gape gazes
"Oh my heck" "flip" and "fetch" Utahn phrases
Cellular phones that have less than 8 rings
These are a few of my least favorite things

Rock chips and road salt and slow 18 wheelers
31 miles of commuting to Weber
Jell-O of any flav. especially green
These are a few of my least favorite things

One hour photo from Smith's or the Wal-Mart
Winter time cold that will not let my car start
The sound of the radio when Timberlake sings
These are a few of my least favorite things

When I win Coke's
When I hear jokes
When I'm feeling glad
Something occurs from my least favorite things
And that makes me feel quite bad
