After Seeing The King And I on Saturday I had an idea to try something. Don’t know if I can make it work but I’ll try and let you decide if it makes any kind of sense. This post could not have been written without the help of Rodgers and Hammerstein. The only word in this that is mine is the word “brings”.
In My Own Little Corner
I Have Dreamed
Something Wonderful
My Favorite Things
What’s the Use of Wond’rin
It Might As Well Be Spring
A Lovely Night
A Hundred Million Miracles brings
It’s A Grand Night For Singing
Isn’t It Kind of Fun
The Next Time It Happens
I Whistle A Happy Tune
You’ve Got To Be Carefully Taught
When You’re Driving Through the Moonlight
There’s No Way To Stop It
Some Enchanted Evening
Gliding Through My Memories
That’s The Way It Happens
Climb Every Mountain
You’ll Never Walk Alone
Thank you Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II for some great shows and show tunes.

Last night, I listened to an interview on NPR with an author of a new book on R & H. They talked about how their songs have become embedded in all aspects of American culture. I know most of the titles in your poem.
Their work most certainly stands out.
I was so fortunate to see The King and I at LIncoln Center! So much fun! ❤
Love your post today – so much to celebrate! 🙂
The King and I is one of my favorites. Such talent.
I have not seen King and I but I think they gave music for Sound of music.😊 One of my all time favourites.
The Sound of Music remains one of my favorites. I have only seen the musical once, but I have watched the movie countless times.
I have not seen the musical but the movie countless times and it has never bored me 😊
Love your “something new”! R&H should be very proud that you found a way to bring back to life their hits thru this poem. Sound of Music is my favorite and several others run close behind.
It is hard to leave one of their shows without at least one song from the show stuck in your head.
Love this post Bob! A great way o honor R &H.
Thanks, Rose.
What a fun poem of borrowed lines!
It was fun trying to put song titles together to see if they would work together.
This is so clever and creative! I really enjoy the way borrowed lines juxtaposed in a fresh way create a new meaning and experience for the reader.
Thank you. I wasn’t sure if the lines could be put together in any way so that they would create a cohesive thought.
Some “found poetry”! I love it. Great thinking.
Thank you
So many great memories in your poem. Thanks!
You are welcome.
Hard to believe they wrote so much. You have certainly created a wonderful poem using their own works.
When I started looking at collections of there work I was amazed by the number. I was also amazed by how many of their works I have seen.
Like a spine poem… like a found poem… What I love is you connected tunes that play in my head and stir memories… and then gave them new meaning just by the way you organized the lines. Great job! Cleverly done.
Thanks, Alice.
