I Hate Everything But You (2020 edition)

Yes, I do realize that this is already a kind of parody, but that doesn't mean I can't parody it again to be about 2020. I hope you all know that a lot of this is doing for comedy and not to be accurate. For those who don't know, "I Hate Everything But You" is a song from Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. Watch it here.

The loaves of sourdough, breads brimming with starch

I've hated crap like that since way back in March

While everyone was panicked and hoarding TP rolls

I would mutter "this sucks" while looking at polls

I detested most stuff and I still do

You see, I hate everything but you

I hate the feeling of my mask when it hits my skin

I don't like that you can't see if I have a grin

I hate when people doom scroll and comment hashtag "mood"

I hate when people do not get delivery food

I hate when someone says "2020, right?"

Or when people actually still get on a plane flight

I hate white people who shout but blue lives matter, grrr

Oh yes, I hate everything but you

More examples!

I hate guys who stand far too close and then achoo

I hate politicians who liken COVID to the flu

I hate when people ask me when I'll ever go back to work

I hate the audience watching the Fox news network

I hate knowing we had NBA games

I hate babies with a cutesy COVID names

I hate when someone says "Won't vote" and someone else says "woo"

Oh yes, I hate everything but you

'Cause when I look in your eyes and I see you smile

When you laugh at yourself and we Zoom for a while

Just for a moment, I forget

How much I hate it when people say "It's no threat"

Even more examples!

I hate it when people say they're going "off the grid"

Or when someone says all that they would forbid

I hate people who just manage to date on the apps

I hate people who always wear MAGA hats

I hate the nickname 'Uncle Joe'

And I hate that's not new

'Cause I want to not hate things when I'm with you

You love so many things

And you have so much fun

It makes me wish my hating days were done

And there's one thing I want you to know

I'll always hate guys who vote for Trump

(Prompt by me)

15 facts about my dad

Just been thinking about some lighthearted facts I know about my dad lately. When he was young, he had a goldfish named Lysander He introduced me to Star Trek At Christmas, he would tear up at It's a Wonderful Life He used to send me articles from his Yahoo email account that he thought I'd like We used to play a game called "Nightmare" where he would lie down and we'd jump around (and sometimes on) him He would clip possible recipes for us to try out of newspapers and magazines We bought him a Paddington Bear to take on trips because we feared he'd be lonely and he always took it He had teddy bears for three different holidays We once had such a hilariously difficult time building a gingerbread house that when some frosting ended up on the counter, I plopped a gumdrop on it and we laughed until we cried He and his sister were born about 11 months apart We would try recipes from Top Chef He kept gifts I made him, even when they weren't great At Christmas, ...
