I saw this on another forum and thought it was brilliant!

(To the tune of "My Favorite Things" from The Sound of Music)

Critical comments and judgmental glances,
Haughty pretensions and self-righteous stances,
Sarcastic put-downs and arrogant grins
These are a few of my favorite sins.

Slothful o'ersleeping and gluttonous gobbling,
Self-centered whining and meaningless squabbling,
Prayerlessness, laziness, indulging whims,
These are a few of my favorite sins.

When my ego
Gets too big and
I think I'm a saint
I simply remember my favorite sins
And it becomes clear - I ain't!

I love it. Can we get up a singing contest before Great Lent--something like the kielbassa contest last year. It could be the Byzcath version of American Idol. laugh

I thought it was tooo cute and clever! I have no idea where it came from originally.

I am sure, however, that with the title being what it is, I got more than a few views out of curiousity to see my 'confession'! wink LOL! wink

(Actually, if anyone must know, the first stanza does not really apply to me, but, on the other hand, the second one---

Don't know if they're my favorite,but they're definitely my sins!
Thanks for wrapping a little humor around them.
