my best friend

there once was a girl named emily grab
who gathered up all of her things in a bag
and traveled the world to never look back
discovering things that we'd never forget
she pushed every limit and crossed every line
you said dont you take it, she said but its mine
and took it and tamed it and kept it in hand
the only girl capable of trapping the sand
all the things you said she couldnt, she did
call her a legend or call her a kid
she'll call you a fool and prove it, its true
then turn around and paint pictures with glue
terrible wonderful new and fantastic
colour her cruel or paint her drastic
she is what she is and does what she wishes
she flies with the eagles, swims with the fishes
dont blink your eyes, dont dare to miss it
keep watch on that girl, dont you ever dismiss it
for something quite plain as the sound of her name
she'll use her writings to gain such wide fame
making extraordiary out of the drab
this is my best friend, miss emily grab
