To combat those pre-election blues and anxiety, I’ve created some therapeutic songwriting or music therapy, if you will.

And here are my new lyrics on “My Favorite Things.” With apologies to Rodgers and Hammerstein and all the fans of The Sound of Music, I’m going with this version for the lyrics now. It helps me. It soothes me.

Special thanks to Alexandra Fleksher for inspiring me to create these lyrics.

My UnFavorite Things (To the tune of : “My Favorite Things”)

Verse 1: (To be sung twice, unless you want to write a second verse; I don’t)>

Packing and fracking discussions so tacky,

Masking and basking in other folks’ lacking,

Smearing and shaming and tossing sharp slings,

These are a few of my Unfavorite things!

Refrain:

When the trolls blast,

When the polls cast,

When we feel harassed—

We simply remember our UnFavorite things

And make sure to get out fast!

There you have it – Sing this on top of your lungs until the election!
