What The King Liked

My friend Cherri shared the meme, I then remembered the "Fit For A King" cookbook by Elizabeth McKeon, Ralph Gevirtz and Julie Bandy and thought I could write a poem using the same lyric structure of the song "My Favourite Things" from the 1959 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical "The Sound of Music".

The song repeats every verse and chorus but I have just done the first half, but you could read and sing it twice.
