"My Favorite Things", Revised Edition

For some reason, "My Favorite Things", which is my favorite song from The Sound of Music, has been stuck in my head today.  Here's the link to the clip from the movie: http://movieclips.com/sLbjZ-the-sound-of-music-movie-my-favorite-things/  But, since "bright copper kettles" aren't the greatest thing in the world to me, and I've no idea what "schnitzel with noodles" is, I thought I'd put my own spin on this classic song:

 

Dryads in forests and naiads in rivers,                                                 
Blue-glowing short swords and long bows and quivers,                           
Magical wardrobes and powerful rings,
These are a few of my favorite things.
Unicorns braying and white elven waybread,
Dragons and hobbits, and sweeties in sleigh beds,
Griffins that fly with some handsome young kings,
These are a few of my favorite things.                                           

When the Just falls,
When the wraith calls,
When I'm feeling mad,
I simply remember that Aslan rules all,
And then I don't feel so bad.
Elves in fine dresses, and sailing ship paintings,                                        
King Edmund's brown eyes (oh snap, now I'm fainting,)
Brave, talking, young mice that know how to sing,
These are a few of my favorite things.

When the Just falls,                                 
When the wraith calls,
When I'm feeling mad,
I simply remember that Aslan rules all,
And then I don't feel so bad.                                     


I should totally record this one. :)

    Is it alright with you if I print that off and show people? I'll make sure I put your name on it to clarify you are the author. That was epic!

  4. Thanks for the encouragement! My sisters want me to sing it for them, and now my grandmother wants to hear it. I need to practice it! BTW, I can post audios on here, if you guys would rather hear me sing some of my songs than just posting the lyrics. I'm not the best singer in the world, but I can carry a tune ok.
