The Sound of Key West Roses in vases And boys with sweet faces Cooking me breakfast And driving us places Conch trains, the white house and butterflies, too These are a few of the things that we do Inside and Pool side We munch appetizers Restaurants and cool haunts You’re great tour advisers! Egg bakes and pan cakes And great key lime pies Even sunglasses to help  shade my eyes When the bugs bite When the sun’s hot When the dog gets mad I simply remember my favorite things And  then I don’t feel so bad! -------- Flowers, warm showers and watching a movie sleeping  at night in a bedroom so groovy Key deer and Nature And Mallory Square Drinking  together How much we don’t care. Playing piano and video dancing Cat tricks and dog licks and drag queens all prancing Religious discussions and Greek lessons, too These are my favorite things that we do. When the day's done When we end fun and we have to go I simply remember my favorite things and then I don't mind it so.  Key West  2010 *with apologies to Rodgers and Hammerstein This is a poem I composed to thank Laurie and her family for allowing me to stay with them. They provided  round the clock services worthy of a five star resort!
