Sometimes when I've felt mad
Down in the dumps or sad
I've looked at this pic of me
And think how can I feel bad!?
Sometimes I imagine
That four-year-old emma
Is alive and in the flesh and
Sitting next to me right now
Little emma next to me, the big boring adult
The moody old Ingeborg adult
In an endless looped self-created dilemma
And I perk the hell up and say to myself
You can't act like that in front of little emma!
So here sitting next to me is a little girl
Dressed as a cat for halloween
And I will always be nice to this little girl
And I will never be mean
Halloween 1986. Kudos to my Mom for the cat ears and makeup.
