Fester’s Favorite Things
The holidays are long gone but it's never the wrong time to sing along to this timeless tune from The Sound Of Music 
Aged bourbon on rocks and blood thickened warm Glog
Oysters on crackers and cheese stinking of bog
Spine crushing Black Sludge and green alien beings
These are a few of my favorite things
Iggy’s leather skin and Norse men’s silky hair
Ozzy’s damned soul and Doom filled with despair
Barrel aged stouts and the devil’s black wings
These are a few of my favorite things
Lemmy’s hairy warts and trolls under mountains
Toxic Yeti farts and porter filled fountains
Headhunting Savages with feasts fit for kings
These are a few of my favorite things
When the Gods smite
When Kanye sings
When I’m feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don’t feel so bad
